I'm purchasing it specifically for Windows. Intel SSD 320 Series 40GB here: http://www.ebuyer.com/261748-intel-40gb-...2ct040g310

However, copying your Windows setup to an SSD won't be ideal; you'll experience slower performance compared to a fresh installation.

Certainly, a fresh setup would be quicker.

It's inefficient for performance... installing from scratch brings you nearly the full speed claimed by the SSD. If you just copy an HDD, most users see only about three-quarters to half the advertised rates on their SSD.

Could you clarify what you're asking about? I need more details to provide a helpful answer.

Perform a fresh installation of Windows on an SSD. After that, transfer your files over.
