Creating an image for SSD

99altezza on 24/02/2015 - 14:22

Hi,

I just purchased an SSD, so I have to image my windows on my current hard drive and put it on the SDD. For those people who have done this, can you please give me some instructions as I haven't done this before.

Cheers

What brand did you get it for?

Many brands have one that allows migration of Windows (and content of the HDD) from one to another. i.e. Intel has one and I think so does Samsung

The coupon code still works.

I used this & it did a quick job.

  Sometimes it pays to pay…
  
  There's more to setting up an SSD than a standard HDD, more considerations (trim, partition alignment, etc), and for the uninitiated it's not a bad idea to get a reasonably-priced program to help you get it right the first time. The value lies in getting the most performance possible from the item of most importance- the SSD.

AOMEI is currently running a beta with their Backupper software. It looks to be free.
