I am trying to clone my OS (Win7 Home Premium -64bit) from my HDD into the SSD but I have some issues with that:
So my question is: Is there a way to free up lots of GB's from my HDD, like messing with the system's restore points and such? (I plan on backing my HDD entirely before even attempting to do anything) or should I just go and get a SSD with more capacity?
What about shrinking, is that a possibility? like shrink C: and somehow leave it with the OS in it and the rest of the data in the other partition so that the Samsung Data Migration software can clone the OS and then I restore backed up data.. that possible?
Thanks in advance!!
■ SSD's capacity is of 120GB and it has 111GB free (Samsung 840 120gb)
■ I have 168GB of Data in the HDD
■ Samsung Data Migration software automatically selects the OS and important files but since I don't have sufficient space in the SSD to clone everything successfully, the program allows me to select the files that I want to leave behind to free up space but not all the files appear except for My pictures/videos/music which allows me to free only 30.2GB of space
■ I have to free 79GB of space in order to be able to clone
