WINDOWS 7 64bit, SOLID STATE DRIVE.

[RUMBLERIDER2]

At the moment i have Windows 7, & all my data on a 1TB SATA hard drive.
I would like to transfer Windows 7 on to a Corsair Extreme X64 64GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive. Then use the hard drive for data games etc.
Is there an easy way of doing this, without doing a totally clean install.
Also with Windows on the solid state, how do you make sure all your files downloads etc, automaticly go on to the hard drive, & not the solid state.

There is probably a name for this set up, excuse my ignorance.

You really ought to do a fresh install. Always the better option (and doesn't 7 set itself up in a certain way when installed/setup on an SSD?).

Acronis true image will do imaging well if you really must

Thinking of doing a similar thing myself by using SSD for Win 7 when I get around to upgrading. How much space does a full Win 7 64bit installation require?

17Gb - 20GB or so, will change a little depending on the version you're installing.
