Well in the beginning of July I'm gonna get my first SSD.
In aid of that I had to switch from Acronis True Image Home 2010 (backup software) to the 2016 version.

I plan to just use a current operating system backup I made from the HDD, and just restore it to the SSD. Unfortunately, Acronis before 2014 wouldn't align the partitions properly when restoring to a new SSD from a HDD backup.
Turns out Western Digital has a free version of Acronis available, if you happen to have WD hard drives anywhere in your computer. So I lucked out there.



On a side note, while researching backup solutions, I came across Aomei Backupper (free). It's free back up software, with no frills, but that works like a charm.
It's just a tad slower than Acronis, but otherwise works just as well.

Both programs also allow you to make a bootable CD or USB stick to access your backups, even when Windows won't boot.

As for the Western Digital version of Acronis... it is available at Western Digital's website. https://support-en.wd.com/app/products/product-detail/p/282#WD_downloads

Funny you mention SSD. There's one on sale for 35 bucks but it's m.2.

Crucial MX500 250GB 3D NAND SATA M.2 Type 2280SS Internal SSD - CT250MX500SSD4 https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B077SL4FZG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wbe.Cb5S85E2V

Probably just gonna get the Samsung 860 EVO 500GB. It's only $77

Ugh. Fuckin gays need to learn to read first amirit or amirit!?
