    Here is a tutorial on how to do it. SSD - Install and Transfer the Operating System The first part is on how to install the SSD, you have done that. There are two ways to transfer Windows in the tutorial. One is you have to do several different commands. It will work but takes some time. The other is that you spend $19.95 on a program and it does everything for you and is quick. If you have the $19.95 to spend, that is the way to go. Let us know if you have any questions.

    Although it takes a little more work, a clean install is always best. With a new SSD it is always better to start out clean and keep it that way. If you need instructions for a clean install, I or someone else will be happy to help. If you want to transfer the OS Bigmck gave you the perfect way. It's easy, fast and does a perfect job every time. Paragon Migrate ($19.95)

    Do you have a Win 7 disk? If so, is it an Win 7 Upgrade Disk? You will need to use this tutorial if an Upgrade Disk.
    Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version If not an Upgrade Disk, us the Clean Install tutorial above that Golden listed.

    Since you don't seem to have a system partition, the bootfiles (bootmgr) will be on C. So if you image/restore C, you should be OK.

    But best is as Steve recommended - use the Paragon Migration tool. Although I wrote the SSD migration tutorial, I use the Paragon migration tool most of the time. It is so convenient. But I got it for free, lol.

    I have even a sadder story. I paid the $20 bucks and then decided to do a Clean Install. I have never used it.
