Copy hard drive image to new solid state
Maybe this is a really stupid question, but here goes.
I have three hard drives, and one is dedicated to my operating system. I would to copy that entire hard drive onto a new solid state drive to make it run faster.
Because I have so many programs and settings all figured out, I'd love to just basically copy the whole drive over, exactly how it is now. As I understand, I need to create a disc image in order to do this.
Is this possible? Am I able to basically swap the hard drives, and use a disc image to basically make the computer think it's the exact same hard drive? Can something like this be done?
Apologise for my ignorance, I'm not up to speed with disc images and I'm not sure how they work.
Thanks for your time!
