[QUOTE="alex9719, post: 1350638, member: 228307"] So, the new drive arrived today and I decided to follow harryb's advice. I took a small USB HDD to recreate the recovery partition and than I took out the original harddrive and placed the SSD drive. After booting the recovery drive, I first formatted the SSD drive and I chose the option to restore a timecapsule backup of this morning. It took some 5 hours to complete but it was all there.... the only thing was that I had to re-activate the Office for Mac (but I expected that and it's no problem) but nothing else, brilliant!! I would say that my MBP is "all done"... I have the MBPro 13", Intel Core i7 2.7GHz version, 16GB of RAM and now the 600GB SSD drive. I can't imagine anything else to further improve it..... (I'm using it 80% for work purposes and I run 3 to 4 VM's almost constantly) Me happy! Thanks for all the help here! [/QUOTE]
