drive cloning
- Thread starter tipsy
- Start date
Personally I'd recommend doing a fresh install, but if you really don't want to then I found this free disk backup and clone software the other day. Its very simple to use and completely free for home and small office use.

After you've migrated from your old HDD to your SSD there are a whole lot of tweaks you can do, and some of which you will need to do to make it work properly. I assume you're running windows 7? And also do you know what mode your SATA controllers are in right now? Either IDE or AHCI?

I'd definately do a fresh install if you can - for one your probably find that windows is installed in some IDE mode on the old HDD which requires a quick regfix to swap it to AHCI for your SSD.
There's plenty of good pieces of backup software on download.cnet.com/windows/backup-software/ if not.
