SDD upgrade, clone or fresh install?
Peeps,
Following on from the Digital Audio Workstation / laptop question previously, we have since found a s/h i5 HP Notebook that seems to run Reason 11 ok. It came with a 750GB hdd that I'd like to swap out for a SSD (a new 500GB Samsung 860 EVO is sitting here ready). Now, I think I read somewhere that if you clone a std HDD onto a SSD you may not get the optimum configuration, compared with allowing W10 to partition the drive from scratch itself. This is down to partition / block boundaries or some such? [1] So, whilst this is a pretty fresh re-install of W10, she's taken it to school the last couple of days and has to get the school IT dept to put it online. Now, if a fresh install (that is potentially going to be running for a while, especially if she goes onto UNI etc) could give better results than cloning, I might as well do that, even if she has to 'bother' school IT again. Thoughts please? Cheers, T i m [1] Or can you re-configure such things post cloning, with Gparted or the like? |
