Can TIH2011 be used to transfer a Windows 7 installation from a HDD to a smaller SSD?
I have a Windows 7 Pro installation on a 150GB HDD, of which I've used 80GB. Can I use TIH2011 (possibly with the Plus Pack) to transfer this installation to a 120GB SSD? Any caveats?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
From "Do not resize any partition except the c:\system partition or any user partition you have." I take it that I can indeed move my 150GB (80GB used) partition to a 120GB SSD, by resizing the C:\system partition at the destination?

Most likely you can but TI sometimes balks. You might want to do a disk check for errors and also do a defrag before creating the backup file to be used. Be sure the backup is a full backup to include all partitions.
For errors:
From a command prompt.
CHKDSK X: /R (where X is the actual drive letter of the partition being checked.)

Yes.
If you have user content or programs that you don't want on the SSD (to reduce the 80GB size further), you can do the changes on the old disk or on the new disk.

Alright, thanks Pat and Grover, will try it out.
