[Joe Noodles]

I want to upgrade my hard drive without the hassle of reinstalling everything again IE OS. Programs etc
so which is the best way/easiest to do this? which program do I need?
I have downloaded Macrium reflect free version not sure if its good enough or not?
any tips would be great for a noob
Cheers Joe

Norton ghost or acronis true image I think its called.

Personally, I would install a new HDD, install windows on it, or linux then transfer files from other disk, and format it.

I think I will end up doing that knowing my luck lol
things like this never work out right for me
I shall look at "Norton ghost or acronis true image" and the one I mentioned, ill give it a try then if all fails start from scratch.
