  1. Do a clean install of your OS and transfer your files over from your harddrive. re-download programs. Or use EaseUS to clone your hard drive. Its by far the best one I've used. Used it to migrate my ssd to a bigger one. Worked like a charm.
  2. Move your Windows 10 system to the SSD drive, you need to: back up your drive, ‘shrink’ your disk space, copy your system partition to the SSD, and format the system partition on your HDD. The easiest way to move your system partition to the SSD is by using the tool EaseUS Partition Master. Like zMeul said. Just download the software, and you’re almost ready. Also, it is recommended to perform a defrag of your system hard drive, before you move it on the SSD, so keep that in mind.
  3. For Free i would like to go with Avast. But i am using paid version of Kaspersky which provides great security for overall system.
  4. If you are looking for maximum performance, RAID0 is the way to go.
  5. Why not do a clean install of your OS and transfer your files over from your hard drive? I would prefer a fresh installation of your OS because it's a better option than cloning in my opinion. For instance: whatever is corrupted or infected on the old drive will be the same on the clone. However, if you decide to transfer your system you can use a cloning software, download and use Acronis True Image WD Edition or EaseUS todo backup. Try this guide: http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid-state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows
  6. EaseUS Todo backup is another good transfer tool free and easy to use.
  7. May because the Windows Search service is not running. Windows Search service is a system service and runs automatically on the system startup. Check whether the service is running or not. If it is not running, you have to start it manually. To do that, press “Win + R,” type services.msc and press the Enter button to open the Services window. Once the services window has been opened, find the “Windows Search” service and see if it is running. If the service is running, you will find the “Running” status in the Status column. If the service is not running, right-click on it and then select the “Properties” option.

  9. You can do this using the Windows Update service. Via Control Panel > Administrative Tools, you can access Services. In the Services window, scroll down to Windows Update and turn off the process. To turn it off, right-click on the process, click on Properties and select Disabled. That will take care of Windows Updates not being installed on your machine.
  10. Make sure to back up all of your important information before you begin this process, http://www.howtogeek.com/224342/how-to-clean-install-windows-10/
  11. Try Clonezilla or EaseUS todo backup. Clonezilla is the other free offline software that stands out to me. Although it can be complicated upon first use it is a very good program and probably the most popular offline free drive imaging application. EaseUS todo backup is my personal favorite of the bunch, it allows you do perform a lot of tasks at once.
  12. Try this https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/transfer-your-data Free download available from September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016.
  13. When dealing with a software data loss, the first and most important thing to keep in mind is not to work with the drive in question, try some data recovery software like Recuva or EaseUS recovery.
  14. As long as you’ve upgraded within the last month, you can uninstall Windows 10 and downgrade your PC back to its original Windows 7 . You can always upgrade to Windows 10 again later. After 30 days, if you need to downgrade to your past operating system and Windows 10's rollback option is gone, you’ll either need recovery discs generated from your original Windows 7 or 8 machine to do a clean install of your old system, or have a system image backup stashed somewhere.
  15. There are two ways to transfer the operating system to the SSD, give you the easier one. Transferring the OS requires you can see this. It does everything for you – alignment, deals with partition, transfers C:, shrinks the originating partition, etc. All you will have to do is change the boot sequence. Note: Before you activate the SSD, it is recommended to set the BIOS to AHCI. Best time to do that is just before you change the boot sequence. Once Windows7 is running, you make the corresponding settings in the OS. Move the user folders to the HDD To move the user folders to the HDD is very simple. Create a Data partition on the HDD. Define folders in that partition – e.g., Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. One for each folder you want to move off the SSD. The name of those folders can be anything. The system will rename them anyhow. It is just more obvious if you call them by the same name as the originating folders. Then, open the Explorer and right click on, e.g., My Documents folder (not the Documents Library) in the left pane. Go to Properties and click on the Location tab. Here you click on Move and navigate to the corresponding folder in your Data Partition on the HDD. Then you Select that folder and Apply it. Very Important: You must move the SSD folder to the corresponding Data Partition folder – NOT to the root of the partition itself. That would create a mess.
