HARDWARE MIGRATING TO A NEW SOLID-STATE DRIVE

I’m planning to buy a solid-state drive and want to know if I can migrate my existing Windows system drive to the new drive using Macrium Reflect Free in conjunctio­n with a rescue disc. I’m thinking of imaging the Windows system drive to DVD. While it’s possible to do what you want using DVDs, we don’t recommend it, Peter. The size of your Windows system drive means a minimum of four discs — and probably many more — will be required. Furthermor­e, it’s a slow process and you’ll need to be on hand to swap out the discs. Instead, back up to an external hard drive or large (64GB or 128GB) flash drive following the guide at www.techradar. com/1319885. Once backed up and verified, swap out your old hard drive for your new one. Then boot from the Macrium rescue media and choose the Restore option. If your image isn’t detected, click ‘Browse for an image file’ to manually select it. When you come to restore the image, Macrium should detect that your new SSD drive is probably smaller than your old hard drive and offer to resize the partitions during the restore process. Some further considerat­ions: make sure that your SSD drive is large enough to comfortabl­y accommodat­e your current C drive, and be sure to choose the option to image all the partitions required to back up and restore Windows. We usually recommend you hive off your data to a separate drive when upgrading to an SSD to give Windows room to breathe.
