Macrium Reflect or any other decent Cloning software. Seagate also has cloning software avialable but I am not sure if you need one of their drives to use it.

If you're technically inclined, boot a Linux distro (live from an USB stick, no need to install anything). From there, you can use
dd to copy the contents of your drive. At the end, you will want to create additional partitions or resize the existing ones.Evo series?

Think it is Samsung, so there should be a samsung program to do what you require.

OS on SSD is always better.
However
without any cache won't be that good...
I would save up some more so you can buy a reputable one.
Any recommendations
Western Digital Green 240Gb 2.5" SATA SSD NAND? Or is this too cheap?

It has no cache it seems and only upto 80TBW or 3 year warranty...
600TBW or 5 year warranty
150TBW or 5 year warranty
I recommend a 500GB one for windows, 500GB ones will last longer as well.

Hi,
Yeah MX series all the way.
Think clonezilla is the best free cloning tool
Otherwise if you have a spare hdd or room on the original hdd just put a current system image on it
Make the macrium reflect winpe flash recovery media "reflect prompts you to do this on first start"
After boot to it after installing the new ssd and point reflect to the hdd with the system image.
Pretty good tutorial here
