I'm not really planning on getting an ssd but I would like to and just want to know what I would have to do. All I would put on the ssd is the OS and programs/games like Photoshop, games, etc. I know that its best to do a clean install, but I would much rather keep my windows settings, tweaks, and all other things I've done to make windows usable for my situation. I would also have to keep all my programs. So how could I migrate or transfer the OS and certain programs to an SSD? AHCI is already enabled in the bios, btw. Any help and feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
