Replacing a rig's boot up media.

[BamalambaDingDong]

Hey guys,

 

This is probably a really idiotic question, but I want to replace the OS ssd I have in my system, but I want to basically clone the drive onto the replacement one, so the rig can carry on without realising anything has changed. Do you guys know of any method that would allow me to make this transition as smooth and seamless as possible, without my computer throwing hissy fit at me?

 

Thanks in advance for any help and advice!

MiniTool partition wizard https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
 

It has the ability to clone the drive, and all you will need to do is change the boot drive in bios once cloned

Its what i used to upgrade from an 80gb hard drive to a 160gb hard drive, but it works amazingly

Would the tools on Hiren's boot work too? Such as the clone utility?
