I have a laptop with Windows 7 (OEM) on HDD. I've bought a desktop with SSD and would like to transfer my OS to that SSD. Is this possible?
There are many articles on how to transfer OS to SSD for use in the same computer. The problem seems to be to transfer that OS to a new machine with completely different hardware, due to driver issues. I've seen at least one article that said doing what I want is only possible "sometimes", then there's a bunch of stuff online that's rather old, including references to software that doesn't seem to exist any longer.
So I have to ask here, how do I copy my HDD to SSD and make it bootable on a different computer?
