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.
