Some Advice/Ideas

I'm planning on doing this sometime after the holidays. Has no one done this?

No words of wisdom?

Never done it, but yes, as far as I know it's as simple as that.

Windows prolly needs to install a driver upon loading, but that's about it.

Provided the clone readjusts the partition afterwards, your fine. Otherwise you may end up with 2 partitions - easy enough to fix.

If its been a while - it might be better to just rebuild the machine though.

For what it's worth, I just finished hooking up the new ssd (I know I said after the Holidays, well it is actually after the Holidays

). Booted up like a dream. I only needed to extend the volume, since it still showed 120 gigs. Easy enough to do through the Windows Wizard. If anyone is planning on replacing their drive for a larger capacity or faster speed, cloning is the way to go, without a doubt!

I wish you luck with the Samsung brand. I've not been impressed with their hardware.

Kindly elaborate. This product got many good reviews on speed and dependability, which was a selling point for me.
