Perhaps wainui would help you out transferring it across

Am talking to the man Lawrence.

1379959 2014-07-23 06:14:00 Samsung Magician wont work with any other SSD. Just Samsung ssd's. Their site says This software is not compatible with other manufacturer's SSDs. I didn't use it here. I did a clean install instead.

It's the only hdd in the case here at the mo. I'll probably add more later

1379960 2014-07-23 06:20:00 Ha Ha, well I guess your old operating system was XP so it may not be very quick as I found out

If you post the spec's on the desktop you are looking at some of the Tech's here could tell you if you are getting a good deal or could recommend something better

1379962 2014-07-23 06:44:00 If the two systems are on different machines, should transfer data easy enough with the file transfer function in W7.
Done my one with wireless.

1379965 2014-07-23 09:16:00 Depending on the HDD (SSD) they should come with software that will transfer from a normal HDD to SSD.

Samsungs software is really nice to use. Its so basic you cant really go wrong - select HDD- Select SSD - Transfer -- Go make a cuppa. :) ( optional) lol

Dont know if the samsung Software works on other brands, never tried.
The software I use is quite happy going from any type of drive to any other, including with multiple OSs on the original, just put the cloned (new) drive in and work as if it was all the old original (but with SSDs, there is no longer enforced coffee break pauses). Files, OS(s), bookmarks, passwords, shortcuts, everything on the new system is just where it was on the old setup.

1379966 2014-07-23 13:04:00 Yes they do.
legally is another thing though.

They still don't allow it. Just because you can do it doesn't mean it's allowed :P
