SSD question

Post by Walter B »

I'm considering migrating my OS (Win 10 Pro) from my failing 1TB HDD to
a 250 GB SSD. What changes do I need to make in the IFW settings? I've
always just used the default settings, but have never had an SSD before.

Walter,

You need to make sure the sectors in use will fit on your SSD then do an Entire Drive copy or Entire Drive image/restore.

Thanks, Brian. Currently in use on the old disk 120 GB. New SSD will
be 250 GB. Should be fine.

That might or might not be so. You have to check the sectors in use by "MiB to Restore". It's possible your sectors in use could be spread over more than 250 MIB.
