software: switching to an SSD

[RidderHannibal]

hey,

 

for the past few years I have been using a HDD as a boot disk and for applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro.

I just recieved a SSD from a friend that didn't need it anymore.

I want to know if there is any software out there that will take the exact data from my HDD (so I keep all my licenses and stuff like that) and paste it on my new SSD.

So it has to take EXACTLY  what is on my HDD. and paste on my SSD EXACTLY  what was on my HDD.

Does anyone of you know if it exists and how it's called?

 

Thanks,

 

PS. i don´t know if this is the right place on this forum to ask this.

I know most manufacturers of the drives have stuff for it. Go to the website of the manufacturer and see what they have.

WD has one,

Samsung has one,

Seagate has one,

And more...

hi, i also faced with that dilemma about a week ago.

 

i used a program called Easy Todo to do the exact cloning from HDD to SSD (it is free so long as you ONLY use it for personal use).

make sure you check the optimize for ssd under the check list option.

 

 

i also suggest you do all this optimization after you successfully cloned your data to the SSD http://www.thessdreview.com/ssd-guides/optimization-guides/the-ssd-optimization-guide-ultimate-windows-8-edition/
