I have an old Lenovo X200T tablet convertible in which I replaced the hard drive with a crucial ssd. Started to have the BSOD on an increasingly regular basis and it crashed for good about 1 month ago. Decided to have a look at it yesterday and when I put it back in the laptop it worked momentarily - all programs and operating system were there.

Is it possible to replace the ssd with another one and clone the contents across without running into copyright issues. I'm thinking of replacing it with something like this:

One of the reviews of this ssd talks about using the samsung clone tool.
My original ssd is a crucial and whilst I think there may be a fix for it to work with the lenovo - installing intel driver- it's getting it to work for long enough that's the problem.
Any advice would be great on this.
Cheers

Edit: I think the samsung cloning software only works between two samsung ssds?
Also if I cant get my lenovo to work I'd have to replace my ssd into another machine and then there would be problems getting the software to work, I think!

first thing to check on the SSD is it on the latest firmware?

if not upgrading the firmware to the latest version may sort out the issues your having
 
check its not suffering from the 5400 hour freeze bug,it affects all crucial m4 ssd's if its an m4

can use ssdlife to check

and yh Samsung data migration works on Samsung ssd's
 
You have spare pc? Plug it into that,USB caddy if you have one,you can flash to latest firmware for the m4 without needing to boot from it
