>>Hi,
>>
>>I am preparing to clone my existing 500 GB drive to a new 1 TB SDD drive. I am going to use the Apricorn SATA Wire EZ Gig with the cable. I already have both the new drive and the Apricorn kit.
>>My computer has the following drives:
>>C: - OS and programs
>>D: - DATA
>>E: - DATA
>>F:
>>The F: drive is called RECOVERY (and it is set to 15.1 GB, 7.75 GB free).
>>
>>Do I need to create an F: RECOVERY drive of similar size on the new SSD drive? And if yes, would 15 GB be enough or I should set more space for it?
>
>Just to add to what others said, I seriously doubt that any attempt to restore from the recovery partition would even work on a SSD. Last time I tried to install Windows (a 7) onto an SSD, it just didn't recognize it and Samsung also says that it only accepts Windows as a cloned drive, not as a fresh install. The driver doesn't seem to be included.
I understand. I will exclude the F: RECOVERY from cloning to the new SSD. Thank you.
