Hey there! You're looking for a new SSD to use as a boot drive. The existing one is an OC Vertex 2 with 64GB, but only about 400MB free. You're considering a Mushkin 120GB drive just to avoid running out of space. Regarding your question, Acronis True Image 2015 can clone your current SSD, which should help restore everything properly without needing to move files.

I would utilize partition management tools such as Partition Wizard or Partition Master to perform those copies

Never copy data to an SSD as it may lead to serious issues, and you’ll still need to reinstall everything. Don’t be careless—take your time and do things correctly from the start. Failing to do so can create many problems later on.

I chose a clone tool instead of a full reinstall because my software runs on outdated versions, and upgrading often causes compatibility problems. I’m hoping this simple fix will resolve the space limitations I face.
