Hi all.
I would first like to apologize if this has already been solved elsewhere, or if this is the wrong forum (this is my first post).
The problem I'm having is as follows, and admittedly may be a common one. I plan to transfer my windows OS over from my 500GB HDD to a Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD I recently bought and installed. However, the supplied data migration software will only let me clone my data if I have enough space for almost all of it, and the SSD does not have enough space to accommodate this. I'm considering moving all of my files to a separate partition on the same drive (I don't have a backup drive and my internet is too slow for cloud storage), but doing so will be very slow and messy. As such, I first want to ask if there is software out there that will let me clone part of the partition, without cloning all of it.
Simply put, what I am looking for is software that can clone the following from One drive on a PC to another (preferably internal, but my SSD came with a USB converter to make it external if necessary):
-My existing windows install
-All my windows files (Drivers, registry, etc.)
-My user account (Not essential)
-Some, but not all of my software (Not essential, as long as the program doesn't require me to copy all the software).
If any of you know of software that can do this, please tell me about it. Thanks in advance, and apologies for the long-winded post.
