Posted July 11, 2017 Just now, ZM Fong said: Clean install is recommended Plus if you have multiple partition and used space on HHD is already over your SSD it quite a hassle to clone it over and it going to take a while. Usually is much faster to reinstall/clean install windows with HHD unplugged during installation process and replug after and restore you data. Magical Pineapples
