You will have too make an "image" of the old drive onto the new ssd
For this too work the ssd will have too equal or larger the space being used by the win OS on the old drive
If it was me, I would partition the old drive
All non OS even installed programs all data and music etc would be in one partition
I would then resize the OS partition to equal or smaller than the ssd
Then I could image the OS partition to the ssd
I did a clean install of W7 on the 256GB SSD
I only want to copy the DATA files off the old 2 TB drive. I'm using the SSD for windows and progs
