Greetings,

Has anyone got a Samsung SSD contact email or help forum?
I am about to clone my Windows 7 HDD to Samsung SDD EVO 850.
I cannot find any info how to cope woth two Windows existing partitions - System Reserved and the main one - C:.
Does Samsung Migration software clone automatically both partitions or it arranges the process according to its needs to make an SSD drive fully functional?

Is there any possibility to clone all current partitions using Samsung Migration Software?
Would Acronis True Image cloning software be preferred (Acronis Boot Disk with cloning tools)?
Do I need a System Reserved Partition on SSD drive?

Many thanks.

PS
On my other computer I have 3 partitions:

1. (no name) 39 Mb - Healthy (OEM Partition)
2. (no name) RECOVERY 750 MB NTFS (Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition)
3. HD (C:) 930.74 GB NTFS (Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)

Shall I clone all of them to SSD or... ?

How to cope of all those Windows partitions while upgrading to SSD drives?
Does Samsung Migration Software do the job in truly satisfying manner?

I will deeply appreciate any helpful suggestions, recommendations and best advices.

Thank you very much in advance.

No problem, then.
Macrium Reflect will do this easily.
Or, if you have Samsung SSD's, the Samsung Data Migration.

And yes, you want ALL partitions from the original drives.

Indeed, I have omitted some important pieces of info.
There are two HDD drives to upgrade. One (desktop) 1TB, second one (laptop) 500 GB.
Both SSDs are 1TB.

Both computers use Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
There is no big quantity of user data on them. Al let all personal data is on LAN drives.
