Transfer HDD - SSD

Hi. How do I transfer the boot data from a WD Blue HDD to a OCZ TRION 150 SSD.

There are a few bits of software that claim to only clone the OS (with mixed results), but generally speaking, cloning a hard drive isn't a buffet - it's all or nothing. Fresh installs are almost always better and even if you did successfully transfer the OS, you'd still have to reinstall all your programs anyway. Best to install clean and not clone over all the various crap stuffed in Windows' nooks-and-crannies.

Hi. How do I transfer the boot data from a WD Blue HDD to a OCZ TRION 150 SSD.

1. What size is the SSD? 150GB?
2. How much total data is on the C drive or partition?
3. How much of that is doc/video/music/Steam games?
4. What OS is this?
