Hello! I just got my new hdd in the mail, and I want to make it my main hdd with all my programs, windows, and files. I will then d-ban my old one and just use it for my music. What program do i use to copy one hdd to another? I can't remember what it's called... Thanks!

Isn't it just easier to back up your most important files to a portable HDD/Flash USB stick and then reinstall Windows, formatting the previous one? Then you can just re-download the programs... 

 

I really don't like this migration software... it increases the chance for corruption.

I don't have the fastest internet, so re- downloading programs, especially all the huge ones i have, is not an option. Thanks though!
