First time user, need simple instructions to migrate to SSD
I've read a number of threads on here, but haven't been able to find a simple step by step guide for what I assume should be a relatively painless exercise.
I've just bought a new SSD for my home PC, and want to use it to boot Windows 7 (64). Could anyone give me simple step by step instructions to migrate my Windows installation to the SSD so that performance is optimised, whilst the apps and other data reside on the HDD please?
If it's easier and simpler to do fresh installs I may just go that route, as the instructions I've seen so far look fairly complex and time consuming. I was kind of just hoping for a simple solution that required minimal input using the True Image!

Welcome,
The complexity depends largely on your hardware and what you are migrating from. If your current disk is SATA, then you shold be able to create a back up image of the entire current disk, and restore it to the new drive. Cloning is another option, but I prefer restoring from back up because this ensures the old drive remains intact.
Other factors such as capacity can come into play. Resizing to larger or smaller drive, etc.
Grover H has written excellent guides about these and other topics.
py6km.. Have I misunderstood your post? Are your programs installed elsewhere??
