Sorry if this question may have been asked in a similar way, but I wanted to present my situation to know what would be best. Right now I have a 1.5 TB HDD in my computer with 1.1/1.3 TB full. It has my OS, games, and music. I recently got a 240 GB SSD and a 2 TB hybrid HDD. I want to make the transfer to a faster system without having to spend money (like buying a new copy of OS). I don't have a data cap, so re-downloading everything wouldn't be difficult but it wouldn't be my first choice. Is there software I can use to transfer the OS and hard drive smoothly? What should I do to maximize performance?

1.1TB won't fit into a 200GB sack.
You can't move 'just' the OS.

2 options:
Prune the current 1.1TB down to 200GB and clone it...

2 options:
Prune the current 1.1TB down to 200GB and clone it over.
or
Clean install of the OS and applications on the new SSD.
