I just bought an Asus S56CB, that has an i7 3517U, and Win8. I was hoping that the OS would be installed on the SDD, it is 24g and I am wanting the OS to take up the majority of it. Is there anyway to transfer the OS from HDD to SDD in my laptop?
A 24GB SSD will not work for the OS. That is almost certainly meant to be just a cache drive, and not a standalone drive for the OS.
It will not work.
Oh, shoot, I was under the impression that Win8 OS was around 18-20g, and therefore should fit into my 24g SD?
The base installation, maybe. Add one or two monthly updates, anti-virus....
Even with applications installed elsewhere, they usually save some data within the Windows install....AppData, User, etc.
And with an SSD, you need to leave 10-15% free, to allow the TRIM function to do its thing.
A 24GB drive will not work in normal use.
For an OS SSD, I recommend nothing smaller than a 128GB. Even a 64GB is marginal.
