hi, id like to transfer windows 7 to another ssd (same ssd model but larger capacity) but don't want to have to re-install all my drivers

I don't want to migrate the windows partition to my new ssd because i hear it may affect system performance. I'm fine with a clean install of windows7, but not all of my drivers (because downloading and finding them all would be a nightmare with my super slow broadband.)
anyone know a way i can transfer os and drivers to a new ssd?
 
Solution
Simply go the website of the manufacturer, like Samsung if the new drive is a Samsung, and download the free imaging/drive cloning software form their site, install software, clone old drive to new drive, remove old drive from boot order in the BIOS, set new drive in boot order, done.
