I'm looking into buying a new SSD Boot drive really soon (40GB's is just not enough :S) and I need help on how to clone the operating system over to the new drive. If anyone could give me a semi-detailed step by step tutorial on how this process can be achieved then that would be awesome :) Some pictures of your screen or whatever would be much appreciated as well :D

 

My idea for the drive ($140 budget :/) http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147188

Here you go, the software is called Acronis True Image, provided from western digital just for the purpose of consumer drive cloning and transfers (completely free). You dont really need a tutorial this software takes car of all the heavy lifting, just select the source drive and the destination drive and reboot and your good to go.
