[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1631185"] 1. Get an External Hard drive. 2. Get Carbon Copy Cloner (Or Super Duper!, both work) 3. Create bootable clone of internal drive on external. 4. Boot from the external, check to see it's working. 5. Power down, swap out internal drive with SSD. 6. Boot from external drive again, use CCC or SD! to clone back to the new SSD. 7. Boot from the SSD. Done. [/QUOTE]
