Use a cloning program if you can, Last thing I cloned was with a trial Acronis, I don't think you can do that anymore though.
Next time ya close my Survarium thread don't be a hypocrite and make a thread under the same conditions

This method works for cloning, backup, and restore.
1. Install Clonezilla (Free) to a CD or USB
2. Boot into Clonezilla
3. Select Clone System Drive (C:) to SSD
4. Wait for it to finish cloning
5. Reboot and set BIOS to boot to SSD
6. Reformat or do whatever you want with your old hard drive
===========
I believe M$ took out the old system image backup from Windows 7 in Windows 8 for some reason. Windows 8 only has file backups, rather shameful but things like Clonezilla work much faster anyways.
