I am planning on getting a Lenovo Y50 Touch laptop (which doesn't have a optical disk drive) and replacing the main HDD with a Samsung EVO 840 500GB SSD.
in order to do that I'll have to clone the HDD into the SSD which requires the use of a disk provided by the SSD manufacturer.
however the laptop does not have a optical disk drive.
How will I do this without a optical disk drive?
the only possibilities I see is by
using a USB drive instead of a disk ( if there actually is a usb drive for cloning)
or
buying a external optical disk drive (something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=Cj0KEQjw3cKeBRDG-KKqqIj4qJgBEiQAOamX_Q5ADLeuYwKZqlDtY5QLMMW-_0YxjI0URNTMpFfZq9QaAqOB8P8HAQ&Item=N82E16827151270&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-External+CD+%2f+DVD+%2f+Blu-Ray+Drives-_-N82E16827151270&ef_id=U3IAwAAABAKNKoNO:20140725015101:s) and inserting the SSD cloning disk into the external disk drive to clone.
are any of these two ways possible? if not, is it impossible to clone HDD into a SSD for my laptop?
