    F (system reserved on old disk) is useless now. You can delete that partition now. You can also delete partition D (old C), but only if you copied all documents you added/modified after cloning! Now old drive is totally empty. You can create a new partition and fromat it NTFS and give it a label

    More good stuff. Set hibernation to off and trim to on.

    Ok, definitely will copy the recent stuff. After that though, I should be okay to delete cloned files from the HDD, drive D?
    EDIT: answered! - Thanks

    System Protection - Turn On or Off
    Enable it on C!! So do step 7 To Turn On System Protection for System Settings and Previous Versions of Files.
    Any ghost drives in that list? If so select them and press configure. "turn off system protection" of ghost drives (if any).

    Was system protection already fine on C? Were there any ghost drives?
    TRIM was on already? Hibernation is OFF?

    It is not necessary to turn off the modern Hibernation feature which is perfected in Win7.

    We should not be advising wholesale to turn off Features or Services.

    Protection was NOT fine for drive C. It was off! I turned it on.
    There were no ghost drives, but protection was on for drive D, the HDD. I turned it off since I will be deleting the Windows files off this drive anyway.

    TRIM was on already. I left it on.

    Hibernation was also on. I turned it off.
    Any additional feedback on this? If Hibernation is really taking up the size of my RAM on my SSD then I would like it off. That would be 15% of my SSD space!
