Hello,
I'm going to be getting a new PC soon and upgrading to it from my old one. The old PC has 120GB SSD with windows and some programs on it and a 2TB HDD with all my data, as well as some programs and games installed.
The new PC will have a 250GB SSD, I'll be putting the old 2TB HDD in it and a new 3TB HDD as well.
How should I go about transferring my Windows (7 Ultimate x64) from the old SSD onto the new one without having to reinstall everything? What complications can I expect? I assume that I'll need to have the 2TB HDD under same drive letter as in the old PC for the paths to work correctly.
I suppose I can't simply copy everything from the SSD onto the new one, since it won't copy over the boot record. Are there any applications I can use or system tools? I read about transferring Windows using System Recovery but I'd like to have a 1:1 copy, without any files or settings lost.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
