Hello,

I am wondering if i migrate from 128GB to 256 GB SSD using windows backup and restore is it possible that after doing it the 256GB drive can have performance issues ? Is there any diffrence between this and makeing fresh isntall of windows ? Id rather migrate the OS image as it was freshly isntalled 3 days ago and would liek to save time but im wondering if there can be some performance degradation or other problems when migrating . I know that partition allignement is not the issue since its SSD to SSD migration.

It's always better to do a fresh install of windows 7. You will not as much problems when cloning/migrating windows 7.

Also, installing should take approximately less than 30 minutes. It won't take forever. You will not lose performance on a drive when files are moved over.
