SSD upgrade

[Intergraphic]

Hi guys, I just got my new ssd and would like to use it as boot disk. How do I manage to boot off the ssd and still get all my programms and documents from the hdd. Is it even possible or do I have to reinstall it?

Sry I don't really know much about this topic.

Intel Migration Software can help you, although I dunno if it works with non-Intel SSDs. It should though.

 

And a guide on how to use it from our lord and saviour:

1. Install Windows on the SSD

Delete boot partition off the HDD

Double click on the executable on the HDD and it should run. If not, re-install the applications on the HDD

Have fun. NOTE: to move programs, use a program called "Steam Mover" and programs are under C/Program Files [or program files x86]

If the SSD is big enough to store everything you have on the HDD, just clone it over using Acronis or some other cloning software

Probably a stupid question, but which exe?

Probably a stupid question, but which exe?

Every windows app is actually an exe file.

 

Look in the program directory and double click on the largest one of these files.

 

In order to find the exe files in the program directory, you can type in the search box "*.exe"

If that doesn't work, can I reinstall windows on the hdd and use it again?
