Hello all,

I currently am running windows 8.1 pro, and am having some issues with it. I've decided that I want to completely reset my computer back to factory settings to resolve these issues. Right now, the OS is installed on the 750gb HDD that came with the laptop. I, however, want windows 8 to reinstall onto a 512gb SSD that I have. I purchased this computer from CyberPowerPC, and didn't receive an installation disk with it, so I'm not sure how I would go about transferring the OS. My guess is that I'm going to have to reset the pc, then download some hard drive migration software and move it that way. This is the first time I've attempted this though, so I want to get it right. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
