Help upgrading to Solid stat drive SSD
Hello,
This is my first post here and forgive me if I'm in the wrong spot....
I'm looking to install a SSD drive for my windows 7 64bit custom rig I have. Currently I have everything on a 2tb internal HDD. I'm looking to keep everything the way it is and just place my windows on the new SSD. What is the easiest way for this to be done?
My first thought was unplug my HDD, install SSD install fresh win7 on it, change boot up in bios to SSD first, plug HDD back in and delet windows off of it.
Another thought was is it possible to install new SSD and move windows folders to it from HDD?
My ultimate goal is to not have to reinstall all of my programs and to keep all my current settings.... I'm looking for the most painless and easiest set up of my new SSD drive and to just have windows on it.
Also, can anyone tell me what other programs, if any, should also be installed on the SSD ....ie antivirus programs or other system things
Again hope I'm in the right spot!
Thanks in advance for any help
