I'm thinking of purchasing a v+200 tomorrow, I understand these are the bare versions and will need sata toUSB cables and cloning software in order to put it into my old laptop. So my question is where can I get these/ what cloning software does anyone recommend?

Ive used Acronis clone and stuff in the past and they are not as good as Windows 7 backup and restore.

Personally I would install Windows on it fresh and move the other required files from your old drive(s)

It's an old vista laptop I'm giving to my brother and haven't got OS disks. He said he didn't want it if it runs as slow as it does. Never fiddled with laptops before hence the question :p

Vista is a pile of poo, I wouldnt recommend infecting a nice new SSD with it. Install Windows 7 x64, it only take a few minutes on a decent SSD

edit - personally Ive got a mechanical drive with media and programs on. Drivers, Apps, Benchmarking. Then an image of my OS with programs, updates and a couple of games installed

The only problem I have is the updates for windows are that big it would take me weeks to fully update (new internet speed is 100-200kb/s download)

I haven't got a spare windows 7 lying around either though. Laptop is ancient, about 5 years old, would be a waste of money getting widows 7 specifically for it. It's a case of passing it on or just binning it. Might aswell give it a new lease of life by wacking an ssd into it keep it as a utility laptop

Fair play - does vista come with a backup and restore utility?

Acronis costs money itself so may as well get vista onto the laptop ssd for free

I think so but knowing vista it's probably buggy as hell. Il just grab an ssd kit as that'll include software
