Hai bois,

Bought a SSD for my wife's laptop and I would like to move everything from the old hdd to ssd. Laptop's hdd isn't partitioned, so she has all the files and browser stuff there and doesn't want me to wipe it and install fresh ( the healthy way ).

My question is, how can I clone everything and move it to the new SSD?

xoxo

Connect the two disks to your PC, clone the entire old HDD to SSD. Any partition management software will allow you to create a bit perfect clone. Most will allow you to either shrink the partition, or leave some files out, if there is no space on the target disk. Then put the SSD in the laptop. It should boot as before. Smile
