I have purchased a Corsair LS 60gb SSD, and am trying to figure out how to migrate ONLY windows to it. If there are free tools or software to use I would like to know about them..

If you want to keep everything else on the larger hard disk, then it can't be done. Install the OS on the SSD and applications on the hard disk.

Edit: Check if Paragon Migrate OS to SSD 4.0 meets your requirements. It will migrate the OS, but you'll probably have to reinstall your applications.

1. A 60GB is right on the edge of too small. It will work, but it will be a pain.

2. As above, Paragon Migrate (not free) is the only application I've seen that purports to be able to move 'only' the OS.
But you'll still have to reinstall all your applications.

3. A clean install on the new OS is very much the recommended procedure.
