SSD Upgrade Q's???
Long time member, and supporter.... Zero SSD experience other than configuring a blazing fast lappy with a preinstalled ssd.
I've moved all user files over to other hard drives and all my games as well, in preparation for the move to an SSD boot drive in the near future. I am using 252GB currently on my boot drive and could move another 10-20 GBs off if needed.
How much overhead, or additional free space, is suggested with SSD's? I always make sure I had 10-15% of free space on all my mechanical drives.
If I get my current boot drive down to say 230GB will a 256GB SSD be fine? Or, should I bite the bullet and get a 480GB SSD (the next size up and most popular size)?
At first my plan is to simply image my current boot drive to the new ssd, then later when time permits start a fresh install and all that that entails... 5 days of reinstallation fun! I've got a copy of Paragon Migrate OS to SSD I plan to use for this initial move to SSD. Any thoughts or suggestions?
