OK, so today I went out and bought a new SSD. I wanted to use this new SSD to run my OS and use a my boot drive. The problem is that I cannot find my OS boot disk. I am not even sure if Gateway gave me one when I bought my FX6840. Is there a way to add this SSD and change my setup without clearing my old hard drive and having to purchase another OEM copy of Windows OS? I hope everyone can understand what I am asking. lol
 
You first need to do a full clean up and then back up the HDD.

Then you can use some software to copy everything over. Make sure you have the latest firmware on the SSD first.

I use Paragon
