advice on Cloning Win7 HDD partition to new SSD
I am plan to copy my existing Windows 7 HDD partition to a new SSD. Please offer your advice to help me think through this process. My apologies for using the technical terms incorrectly.
My existing HDD partitions are C: Windows 7, D: Windows XP, E: data and the fourth partition is UBUNTU. My boot-manager is GRUB. I don't remember much about the process of installing three operating systems other than I used EasyBCD to get them all bootable.
I plan to take an image of C: Windows 7 with Macrium Reflect and restore it to a new SSD. Then I want to use EasyBCD to configure the old and the "new" operating systems as bootable. What details do I need to consider ?
And finally, this is more of a SSD question. I read something about the SSD partition needs to aligned a certain way. I think the HDD ( that I will be cloning ) was formatted with Windows 7, and Windows 7 automatically uses the correct setting. How can I very that ?
