[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1611329, member: 46727"] Some apps can be moved by just dragging and dropping them to the Applications folder on the new drive (SSD) while others may have to be reinstalled. It depends on the app. A Time Machine backup could be used selectively to move apps but again, it depends on the app. If the SSD you buy is of the same size or larger than your other drive, the transfer would be a lot easier since you could restore a Time Machine full backup to the new SSD. However, you would still need to first install OS X on the SSD so it would be bootable. [/QUOTE]
