Hi. I ask bit of help. My old SSD started have too little of free space. So I got bigger SSD. Not yet installed it. So I though it might save me time if copy already installed Windows 7 Ultimate with programs (what's on my old SSD) to my new bigger SDD. I tried find good guides for this from Internet. Mainly I found normal HDD to SSD guides and lots various programs what supposed can do that.  Also I noticed Crucial SSD package included licence for Acronis True Image HD software.  So I am bit confused. So I am asking what software you are recommend for this  migration operation without I need install Windows 7 Ultimate again? And do I need set first this new SSD size to match old SSD size (120GB) and later resize it to standard size or I can leave it be it default size (250GB(?

 

Old SSD: KINGSTON SSDNow V+200 -120 Gt

New SSD: Crucial BX100 250GB

You can just use any cloning software to do it, but I would highly recommend a fresh install as you will get better performance as installs tend to deteriorate/slow down over time.

Macirum Reflect... Drops mic.

 

Ok seriously this is what i use for my personal use and my company (systems administrator). Its easy to use and even allows you to image your PC or clone it. You will probablyw ant to clone it though.

 

On another note. Dosent the SSD come with cloning software?

^This, Macrium reflect is certainly the most no-nonsense, hassle-free program I've used. Others I've tried always ask me for money.
