For transferring data from a traditional hard drive to an SSD, look for compatible software or tools designed for this process.
They're correct. A fresh setup of Windows usually only requires a few hours.
It seems you're questioning the need for a 1 kbps connection if remote downloads would be quick enough, particularly because you're using an SSD.
It will require from beginning to end roughly 3 to 5 hours. The process involves downloading drivers, creating boot media, setting up the operating system, installing additional drivers, applying updates, and adding a moderate number of personal applications.
You might also consider a fresh installation if possible, since it’s clear what you’re dealing with when recovery media isn’t available (there are many legal methods to obtain Windows ISOs). The SSD you receive could include migration tools (like Samsung’s), or you can use software such as Acronis. Personally, I’d spend time creating a tailored Windows ISO for your specific build—either burning it to a DVD or saving it to a flash drive with drivers and updates already installed. This approach saves time compared to just performing a clean install and then applying updates or drivers later. It’s useful if you ever need to completely reinstall the operating system again in the future.
