Hi Karmi,

I use three SSD's in total. One in the main TV Server and one in each client. I did a clean install on each system as I felt that this would be the best way of setting them up. I didn't want any legacy issues affecting the performance.

The SSD's made a huge difference to the GUI and overall WAF

Hi Karmi, yes I did this. The thing to remember is Microsoft tools typically only allow you to migrate a drive to another of equal or greater size regardless of wether the actual amount of data on the HDD would fit on the SSD or not. What I did was download a trial version of Acronis True Image http://www.acronis.co.uk/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ which is fully functional. With that software you can create an image of your HDD and provided the amount of data on your HDD will fit on your SSD, create a USB bootable stick (with the Acronis software you download) and then write it onto your new SSD as a perfect 1:1 copy.

Once thats done and you are booting into Windows, re-run the Windows Experience Rating assesment tool and aparently it notices you have an SSD and makes the modifications to Windows nessicary for optimum performance.

It literally took a couple of hours and was completely painless in my experience.

Hope that helps.
