I want to avoid deleting all of my data to move my windows installation to the ssd, can I install windows onto the ssd THROUGH my current windows installation and if so is there a guide that I can follow

 

THX IN ADVANCE

You can clone your current installation to the SSD, but it's recommended to just start fresh.

No. You must clone the drive.
