Clone a Vista install to an SSD - Best solution?

Hysteria · Sep 27, 2010

I'm going to stick a Transcend 192gb SSD into my Dell 17" laptop that currently has a 2.5" spinner HDD in it. (Not entirely sure of size)

What's the best method/software to image the current Vista install over to the SSD?

Any recommendations appreciated.

Acronis True Image is what I would use.

Seagate has a lite version that you can use for free if you have a seagate drive.

Don't even need a seagate drive. Seagate offers the download to everyone now! It's in Seagate Disk Tools I believe.
