Too late. My SSD should come today!
Now the fun begins.
Questions: How best to move my C drive (boot + programs) to the SSD?
What software tool does the image best? Running Win7 RC. Will upgrade to
Win764ibt Ultimate soon. I'd actually like to just upgrade over the RC.
Is that possible?
Fresh install on the new SSD. I know this is mainly a windows group, so
the following should be common sense by now:
a) Never upgrade windwows, ever, ever, ever.
Well....
b) A fresh install will always be faster and cleaner
It certainly will be cleaner....but it won't always be faster, since
there is a lot of bits and pieces you need to carry over to ensure you
don't lose anything.
The only reason I'd consider not doing a fresh install is because this
is a relatively young install anyhow, and I don't load back all my stuff
(software) since I knew I would be going this again...
Once you do a fresh install of the OS and our programs, do an image and keep it on the
network for easy restores later on.
