Hello there I just bought a Crucial MX200 SSD, the drive is the one with an enclosure thingy.  Regardless I only have one copy of Windows and it's installed on the old drive.  I don't have to get rid of the old one, yet.  I have three power gadgets on my motherboard for drives.  I'm going to replace my OEM HDD with 2 SSDs and 1 mechanical drive, so I need to get my stuff off the current mechanical drive.  I only bought one of the SSDs partly because this is going to be a test run, partly because I'm poor.  So what I'm asking for is a procedure to get Windows off the HDD onto the SSD.  I would like to move other things too but its not that important, so long as I get Windows.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Cloning your drives will duplicate your drive-to=drive.  It will ask you to choose the source and target disks.  The source = bootable HDD.  The target = new SSD.  Typically, you'll want to choose the proportional method.
     
    I'd download Macrium Free v6.

    After you've downloaded Macrium Free v6, view these instructions to create a Windows PE 4.0 bootable disc or bootable USB drive.  Be sure to select the bit (32 or 64) of your current OS during the process.

    Enter your BIOS and verify that the medium you've chosen (CD or USB drive) is set to the primary boot device and reboot with the disc or USB drive is inserted.  Follow the prompts.  This will begin the drive clone process.
