I currently own two 1 TB HDDs. I would like to replace my primary HDD with a 500GB SSD due to the decrease in pricing. However, I would like to clone my primary HDD after removing some data so that all my main programs and current copy of Windows continue to function.

My current HDD is C and I would like the new SSD to be C as well so paths continue to work. Is this fairly easy to do or would it be easier to install a fresh copy of Windows and redownload all my programs? I'd prefer not to reinstall from scratch but I can if it is absolutely necessary.

I am currently using Win 7.

If you would like a graphical interface, you can pick one among these:

  • Gparted
  • partedmagic

They will both allow you to resize and copy your partition from the old hard drive to the new ssd.
