I got a brand new gaming laptop today and I am going to use the Samsung migration software to clone the HDD to an SSD.
While using the laptop so far, I have taken care not to download or install anything or put anything onto the hard drive prior to the cloning, which will take place tomorrow. This is because I am paranoid. I just want the computer to still seem like a brand new computer when it has an SSD inside it.
This laptop came with windows 8.1 but there are of course loads of windows updates to do. Should I install these now or wait until tomorrow, after I've cloned the HDD and installed the SSD?
In either case, I'm very excited about this
Thank you Tom's Hardware, I've browsed this forum for years and this is my first question.
P.S. I'm open to other ideas of what I should do before this cloning. I am already gonna back everything up (it is only preinstalled stuff on this laptop) and I am creating a recovery drive too, prior to cloning.
