So I got my new Samsung EVO 840 120gb SSD today and shoved it into my PC. My PC detects it and all.
What I need help with is transferring the OS from my WD 1TB Blue HDD to my new SSD.
The problem I've encountered was all my data was on the same partition as my OS. I'm looking for a way to transfer the OS (and only the OS) over while keeping all of my other data on my hard drive.
Thanks!
I've been in this situation as well
I tried this way back when I got my SSD for christmas of'13. I couldn't find a a way to just move windows 7 from HDD to SDD, so I just wound up saying fuck it, and saving "important things" to a flashdrive, and reinstalling windows. I'm pretty sure if its in the windows partition it is tied to the OS in some way.
Yeah i've considered that. Better go look for that damn disk.
