Hey everyone just got a new gaming PC today, has both an HDD and a SSD already in it so no need to install any new parts. The OS is on my HDD and I want to transfer if to my SSD, can anyone help? Thanks.

The ideal, and recommended, method is a clean install on the SSD.

How large is the SSD?
How much space is used on the HDD?
There is only one application I know of that will move 'only' the OS.

Program looks good but what about apps installed and the drive lettering that will be effected? Won't it mess everything up?
