Transferring OS from HDD to new SSD

[DBrown51]

I'm thinking about buying a new SSD, how would I transfer my boot files from the HDD to SSD?

Thanks in advance

Use a cloning software.

To elaborate more:
Cloning software such as CloneZilla, Acronis True Image, etc. I personally prefer CloneZilla.

Hey now, we gotta see if they can work The Google before hand feeding them all the info

Also to add to that, Samsung's software that comes with the Samsung SSDs is good too.

Before you ask, if you ask, the EVO is fine and no point in getting the Pro.

You wouldn't transfer. Clean install always

That's purely a matter of personal preference, not a hard and fast rule as you seem to imply.

Nothing wrong with cloning.

would there be a benefit for a clean install over a clone?
