[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1614055, member: 83420"] Hi andy m Welcome to the Forums As I understand it, a clean install requires that you make a Boot Installer on, say a USB, install this on your new SSD, migrate the Docs etc to the SSD and reinstall all apps, which is a mega-bind. The following links explain this in great detail and far better than my abbreviated summary above. Although the Links relate to Yosemite, this applies to any OS X, in principle.
