How do I make my SSD boot Windows?

[Snoyper]

I built my computer at first without an SSD, and recently, I found a 128GB Crucial SSD for a good price. Naturally, I bought it, but I wanted to use it as a boot drive. Is there any way to make it my boot drive, without using any of that partition software?

I have the original disk with Windows 7 on it, so hopefully I can use that rather than software to do it.

You'll need to reinstall Windows on the SSD or migrate it to the SSD.

Just do a fresh install.

Windows 7 itself comes with backup&restore function. It allows us to make a partition image file that contains the MBR partition table. Meanwhile, we can also use Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to create Windows 7 bootable USB drive. Please be advised that to use this method, the storage of SSD must be larger that old HDD storage.more detail steps you can follow this article Migrate Windows 7 from HDD to SSD without Third Party Tools:http://www.disk-partition.com/kb/migrate-win7-ssd.html
