I've got an HP PAvilion gaming laptop which I bought last year. It was a bargain that seemed too good to be true, and ideed that was the case - for all its excellent spec, the hard drive in it is the slowest in existance, meaning that it's just maxed out all the time.
I've bought a Samsung 860 Evo to replace the Hard Drive. When I've done this on my mac, I've been able to use Time Machine to create a system image on an external drive, meaning the computer can just restore from that to exactly what I had before.
I understand this can be done using Windows Backup and Restore or something, but as I'll basically only get one shot at this I don't want to mess up.
I'd be really grateful if someone could talk me through what I need to do to get this set up right so that when I boot up after fitting the SSD, I can just restore everything to its current state.
Thanks very much!
