Ssd to ssd migration help please

[PhotonCrasher]

Hi there, I was thinking about getting a new ssd a larger one, ATM I have a crucial m4 64gb which my OS and other things are stored on, if I bought a larger ssd is it possible to kinda move what's on ma current ssd to the new one so i don't have to do a clean install of the OS.? If so how?
cheers.

you can clone the first ssd harddrive and put the clone on the second ssd harddrive.
I use: acronis true image

It is not recommend to clone a SSD because certain features that will make the SSD faster will not be enabled with a cloned drive.

Yes you can.Just clone the drive.If you are worried about the speed,don't be.
You can use programs like FarStone DriveClone Pro.

I honestly would use Linux Ubuntu to do that,but it's pretty complicated since you must do certain things manually.But it's a lot safer.



Cheers!

Thanks for your help, it's now much tempting me even more to buy a new ssd because they arnt as expensive.

...they arnt as expensive.

Maybe not there where you live,but here where I live an SSD of just 60 GB costs more than 500 dollars lol.
