It is possible that I will need to upgrade a laptop by replacing the existing HDD with an SSD and I initially thought that I would need to re-install W10, all the existing software and settings.
However, I have seen that there is software around that will allow me to clone from one drive to another and this would make life a lot easier. The laptop is only used lightly and ALL the data currently on the HDD will fit on an SSD.
Not sure if there are enough slots in laptop to have both installed at same time - will need to check that!
Anyway, my question is whether the cloning software will leave me with an identical system I.e. will it move all the software, settings, favourites, browser bookmarks, desktop, etc. or will I still need to tweak it afterwards?
Also, anybody got any recommendations of cloning software to use/avoid?
