I need to get more perf out of my humble Dell Inspiron laptop, and I think the best way for me is to replace the hard disk with a solid state drive.
However, this machine is 'mission critical' to my business in that I use it all day every day and cannot afford to have it down for long.
How can I transfer my data and OS onto the new drive and carry on going? Does Windows 7 backup allow this, or do I need a drive image? If so what software do I need to get?
Answer
Under Backup & Restore you can create a System Image you can then restore it using the Windows 7 Installation disc. Here is a short guide... expand the restore using installation disc option.
If you do not have a Windows 7 Installation disc I believe you can use the Windows Repair disc. Here is a short guide on how to create it.
If you want to use a third party tool I would recommend using Clonzilla
