Reinstalling Windows 7 on a new drive

Davidff1991

I currently have a 500gb drive in my computer and was wanting to get an ssd. But I'm not sure how I can put the same copy of windows on the ssd and just wipe my current drive. Or is there any kind of way to copy exactly what i have currently and just put it on the new SSD so it will be like nothing changed execpt the fact it will be much faster

You can always clone the contents of the drive so that it makes an exact replica. However, going from an HDD to an SSD, I would recommend doing a fresh install then only copying over the files you want, that way you get the full benefit of the new SSD because the old install is set up for the HDD.
