Is SSD data migration smart?

[robbivip]

So I'll be buying a Lenovo Y50 very soon and I'll be putting in a Samsung SSD. 
 
My question is: Is it "OK" to migrate the data on the HDD because I've been hearing a lot of bad rep for data migration.
 
This question might sound stupid to some, and just respect that I ain't the smartest man on earth

its a risk
those hundreds of 1 and 2 star reviews on almost every SSD are 90% migrations gone wrong

if you can avoid it, dont migrate and do a clean install

 

your notebook has good support so lenovo should have all your stock drivers on their website

I've cloned hundreds of drives to SSDs at work and usually the only time I run into problems is if the original hard drive has bad sectors.

I would vote for a clean install, plus make sure that the controller is in AHCI mode.

Clean Install, It just gives you that fresh feeling that all of those random useless files are gone.
