[QUOTE="iWheeler, post: 1586716, member: 212338"] i dont think i want to start fresh on my new drive as i have a lot of stuff installed on here i wouldn't remember half the things i've added. I've moved all the data out of the folders (music, pictures etc) to an external drive so my hard drives used space is smaller than the SSD, i was going to then clone the drive to my SSD using CCC and then wipe the original drive. once cloned i was going to see if i can move the user folder to the original drive off the SSD so the SSD will only have the system files on it and then move all the data from the external drive back into the corresponding folders. does that sound ok or will i run into problems?
