Hi,

Just a quick question. Can I somehow copy over my OS from my HDD to my SSD? Maybe it's called something I dno.. Something called OS ghosting, what is that?

They sell cloning software you can google for. Symantec has one. There's a few others that are fairly good. Best thing to do is to install windows on the SSD from scratch along with your drivers and programs/games. It will take some time, but your PC will run faster and more efficiently and then you can plugin the old drive as a slave.

Or if you want to clone instead, use this guide:
