Have 2 x kingston hyper x 3k ssd's in raid 0 and have bought me a 500gb samsung evo because i start to get space problems, now i have to move windows from my 2 ssd's or install it all over again.

Tried to google it and it seems i have to install it all over again :( no service pack 1 for windows 7 dvd.

I have also bought me a KINGSTON DATATRAVELER R3 16GB USB 3.0 and plan to do the slipstream windows 7 sp1 so i always have a iso with service pack 1 (is there any way i can do it more easy, seem to be a lot i have to do to make a bootable usb drive wit windows 7 with sp1?)

Can i copy my windows 7 on to my new ssd or do i have to install it all from scratch?

CLONE.

1. Install the software: http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx
2. Install the SSD, and Samsung Magician (update the firmware now)

3. Clone to the new SSD (Macrium Reflect has a verify feature I believe. I used it to clone before)
4. Change the BOOT ORDER to the new SSD to see if it boots.

If you're booting fine now, then shut down and remove the old SSD's. May then want to remove the RAID array and stick with AHCI only (it's a bit confusing depending on the motherboard. Mine defaults to "AHCI" but if I choose RAID that's all I see despite the non-RAID drives using AHCI... sigh.)
