What's the best method of restoring select files to a new drive?
I've essentially planned a new computer, consisting of a CPU, motherboard, and of course, a new hard drive, being a 128GB Force SSD. Currently, I have ~311GB worth of OS, programs and games installed on this 1TB Caviar, and I was originally thinking to, first, cut it down by uninstalling everything I wouldn't plan to keep on my SSD, perform an image backup with Macrium Reflect and restore the image to the SSD.
My friend informed me it's better to have a fresh OS install on SSDs (Why?), so, unless anyone wishes to tell me otherwise, I plan to update to Windows 8 along with this computer.
I don't currently have Reflect setup to backup images along with user media, nor would I know how to restore it. Otherwise, I would revert to cloud to backup just the important data, or simply copy it to one of my other HDDs. Regardless, first priority is to request help here, otherwise I'll fall flat on my face! What is the best way of going about this? Thanks
