    reedce1 got a reaction from holytoledo in What was the first video game you ever played?   
    Oregon Trail 4th Edition.  It used 3 CD-roms and ran on my grape fuity iMac.
    Also, OS 9 was the best thing Apple ever did.  It was ugly as all hell, and had a bunch of useless features, but I loved it almost as much as I love Windows 7.
    Anyway, I think I played Oregon Trail almost every day in the 3rd and 4th grades.  The only other game I have played that much is probably Skyrim, but I don't think I've put as much time into that even.

    If you are using Windows 7, you can use Windows Easy Transfer to make a file that contains all the stuff you want (Windows-profile, folders). You just save that file on your current HDD. You make a fresh install on the SSD, start up Windows Easy Transfer again and select the file you made earlier. This way, everything can be put back the way it was before.

    You can partition the free space on your HDD to create another virtual unit (example D: ) All you have to do is back up your documents, pictures, music etc there.
    Then you unplug the hard drive, plug in the SSD (that is empty) and make a fresh windows install there (you can use the same key, as the system is still the same).
    Once it's done you can plug back the old hard drive, but remember to tell the Bios the SSD is the device to boot from. And delete the partition that has the OS installed (which used to be C: ).
    You can add the free space on the hard drive to the partition that has all your data, so nothing gets wasted. Windows will register the storage partition and it will be available to use.
    I use EASEUS Partition Master, it's free, works flawlessly and is pretty user friendly. If you are going to download it, do it from the EASEUS website.
