hi guys,
my question is how do i install an ssd to a new build?i dont mean physically but how do i get my windows on it?
i know i can reinstall it on the ssd, but i only have windows 8, so updating to .1 would take even longer!!! however if i did do that could i then delete windows of my hdd??
also is there a safe way of cloning windows, so copying it straight from my hdd to sdd??
any answers will be much appreciated, thanks.

1. Did you buy the Windows 8 or was it preinstalled?
2. The update to 8.1 is pretty painless, depending on your internet connection speed.

Yes, there are various cloning tools, but I always recommend a fresh install on a new SSD. Far fewer potential problems.

I bought and installed windows 8 oem edition or something like that and if i install windows again on the sad, can i delete windows off of my hdd? Also how would i move battlefield 4, as i want it on the ssd? Would i have to freshly install origin as well, or could i just move it?
Thanks for the help!
