Type Backup in the search box then on the left you can choose to do a system image. You can use DVDs or another hard drive.

1156770 2010-11-29 23:57:00 I dont recommend image restore, the SSD will need an install to align it correctly.....

Storage system performance is dependent on many factors, one of which is a properly aligned partitioning scheme. Misaligned partitions cause a significant reduction in the I/O performance of a disk drive through redundant read/write operations and a subsequent reduction in an SSD lifespan by as much as one-third. The introduction of 4K sectors in the latest disk drives creates even more alignment problems for a large proportion of IT administrators. Implementation of enterprise virtual environments and the use of different RAID technologies are also susceptible to misalignment. In most cases, a mismatch between actual physical and logical representations of data causes a significant decay in overall system performance and hardware longevity.

You will also need to ensure BIOS settings for Trim to work........

1156771 2010-11-30 01:04:00 Paragon Migrate OS to SSD costing $(US)19.95 might do the job.

It came free with Paragon Harddisk Manager till 28 Nov 10. I recently downloaded it but I have yet to try it.
