I have a samsung 840 pro 256 gig ssd but i am not sure how to get windows on the ssd and replace my 1tb stock hdd with the ssd... i tried to use cloning softwares (acronis,samsung data migration) and various other cloning programs with no success. The other forums are saying that you can't use hp recovery media to install windows on the new ssd as it is smaller than the 1tb and will now allow it. i am confused and already spent my money and don't know where to turn please help me
