I have a 300 GB hard drive in my computer. I would like to upgrade to a SSD drive, but likely would use a 120 GB Drive.......

My 300 GB hard drive has a 100 GB partion which is my C: boot drive. Can I make an windows 7 back up image of JUST the 100 GB C: partion and then restore that to the 100 GB SSD.

Does this work with the restriction that the drive you restore too is of equal size or larger?
