| | Confused about transferring Windows 7 from HDD to SSD Hi. I have spent about a week reading around the internet on the best ways to transfer my operating system and program files from my 1 TB HDD to a Samsung 830 128 GB SSD. Some people are saying that I have to create a disk image and then transfer it from there? I also read that you can just plug the SSD into a sata port, insert the windows 7 disk, and simply install it from there? Is there a program that can easily transfer the OS to another drive? I am not extremely tech savvy when it comes to this, so I was wondering what would be the best route to take. |

| | Partition Wizard lists alignment as one of the included features for the free version: Best Free Partition Manager Freeware and free partition magic for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista and Windows XP 32 bit & 64 bit. MiniTool Free Partition Manager Software Home Edition. However, I still prefer to do a clean install. With a little planning, you should be able to do the entire process in under 2 hours. |
