Transfering OS

What SSD do you have? Most SSDs have a clone/transfer utility on their website.

 

OS transfer is possible, however doing a transfer has the chance to cause unnecessary issues due to the transfer.

 

My personal opinion is to do a reinstall.

 

I have a WD black now and i planning to transfer my OS to the SSD , I dont have the disc for windows so any way i can transfer JUST MY OS to the SSD?

You can clone your drive using something like Clonezilla.  Personally I used this software: http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm

 

The software is extremely easy to use, just make sure that you accidentally install any ad-ware in the installation process and I would uninstall it after your finished so you don't get any ads.

Not sure what SSD you have but Samsung has great cloning software that makes this whole thing pretty easy. Although if you decide to go a different route, you could always just install the OS onto a flash drive, install it onto the SSD and then restore the native OS HDD.
