Hey everyone,I just got a new Dell laptop running Windows 8.1, now i want to replace its HDD with a SSD. The issue with that is that i have no idea how to get Windows onto the new drive. Note that my laptop doesn't have a disk drive so USB would be my only method of transferring any data to the new drive. Can i use a USB recovery on a different drive? Any insight would be very much appreciated!

Thanks, Chris.
