Hi!

Well...I've just spend the weekend changing my hard drive out.
Went from a 120GB SSD to a 240GB SSD...reason...it got full!
The bad part was after moving most of the stuff I had on my old drive to in of the other drives (I have 7 drives, 2 SSD, 4 2TB Mechanicals and a 5TB Back Up external)...
I figure all I had to do was reload the OS and it should pick every thing back up...after move back the critical info back top their folder...of coarse, this didn't work.
So I had to reload All my programs again, this time cutting out stuff I never used the first time, and now it seems some stuff is working better that before.

But I should have raided the two SSDs  the first time...

There are a couple of ways of doing upgrades, both have a high success rate.

First are the copy kits that most companies bundle with their SSD's. Crucial/Micron does that for a few extra bucks, oftentimes free with their premium models. I've used the kit twice and had success on both attempts.

The other is to purchase a backup program that can make a backup copy of your old HD, then install your new HD, copying your profile files (mind the AppData folder, firefox and thunderbird stores your favorites and email folders there) onto the new HD under your new credentials, then importing. What I've done with Firefox is use their sync feature and simply connect the new browser into the sync account and your favorites are synchronized across the board.
