Ok, so I bought a Crucial m500 240gb ssd, I was gonna buy a kingston v300, but people were saying it was 50-50 on whether or not you got a decent firmware.

 

Anyways, I currently have a 1tb hard drive, now I can move my games and uninstall unwanted programs to get it to fit on the ssd, but what is the best (preferably free) piece of software for mirroring the hard drive and how would i go about the mirroring process?

Best to just back-up important files and do a clean install.

Avoids any complications, which you would otherwise have to faf around fixing later on.

 

Just my 2cents.

Ok, i'll download all the drivers and stuff, stick them on a usb, then i'll be ready for when the ssd comes.

Yeh its just better to do a clean install as it avoids any driver issues or any other issues which appear later on which will be a pain to solve.

If you have your games on steam or something, back-up the folder and you can copy them straight over.

Is there a way to backup origin games? I had issues restoring bf3 but i had the disc, now i have bf4, i don't want to spend all day redownloading it.

 

EDIT - nvm, googled it, found a way.
