How do you move a user from a hard drive to an ssd?
Tylermartingp4055
To move your Windows, create a recovery image. You don't need any third-party apps to do it. You can use Windows tools.
To do it:
• Go to Control Panel / File History / System Image Backup /Create a system image.
• In Windows 7, it is Control Panel / Backup and Restore /Create a system image.
• Select a media to save the image and click Next.
As a result, a complete system image will be created, including all installed applications and programs, files and shortcuts as well as settings.
After that:
• Connect the media containing the system image and the USB bootable drive to the new computer
• Boot the computer with the USB drive.
• To do it, go to BIOS or UEFI and set first boot priority to the USB device.
• Then restart the computer.
• After the computer boots from the USB drive, use it to go to recovery environment by selecting the menu System Restore.
• In the recovery environment, go to Troubleshooting /System image recovery.
• Then follow the wizard directions to recover the system from an image
• and the recovery process will start.
• Wait until it is over.
Here is one very important aspect.
Transferring Windows from one computer to another is only possible if they have similar interfaces: BIOS and BIOS, or UEFI and UEFI. You can also move the system from a computer with BIOS to a computer with UEFI.
As all modern PCs have UEFI, you are not going to have any problems.
But if you try to move Windows from a computer with UEFI to a computer with BIOS, it will not work. The system image will not be restored and you will see an error message saying about incompatibility of different versions of microcode.
• When the recovery process is successful, the computer will restart and boot the same Windows which you used to create the image.
System transfer is shown on the example of Windows 10. In Windows 7, your actions will be the same. Just when you unfold the image on a new PC, the recovery environment interface will be different.

When you upgrade your hard drive to an SSD drive is it possible to run your prrograms from your old hard drive or will you need to re-install the games onto the SSD to use?
If you're replacing the old drive with the new one - you'll have to re-install every program - and copy any saved game (and other personal data) onto the new SSD drive.If you're adding an SSD drive as an extra storage device, you can leave all your programs on the old drive - and just move any user data to the SSD. It's entirely up to you as to how you go about it.
How do I move all of my files onto my hard drive and leave Windows on my SSD drive?
Use Cut and Paste on the files you want moved.
What is a 750GB SSD hybrid hard drive?
It means that it has both SSD drive in for caching and frequently used files and plate-based hard drive for all other files.
A user playing a game on a gaming PC with a standard eide 5400 rpm hard drive finds the performance unsatisfactory which hard drive upgrade would improve performance while providing more reliability a?
Replacing the hard drive with a SSD (Solid state drive) would improve performance.
What is a drive that uses both magnetic and SSD technologies called?
Hybrid hard drive
What is an SSD?
An SSD (Solid State Drive) is a type of hard drive that uses no moving parts, but rather stores data on Flash chips, similar to a Flash drive or CompactFlash.Solid State Drive
What is a Seagate 500gb Solid State Hybrid drive?
A hybrid hard drive is a Hard Drive that has a SSD built into it also. There is currently only one manufacturer that does it- Seagate. The Hard drive is a standard 7200 rpm drive(in flavours of 250, 320 and 500gb) and the SSD component is 4gig. The 4 gig ssd does not sound like much but the impact it can have is enormous. It has some onboard chip that evaluates your running processes and then puts your frequently used ones onto the ssd. I have a mac with a 5400rpm drive. I swapped it out with a hybrid drive and the increase in speed is great. Much much cheaper than ssd's and in my opinion hybrid drives are going to dominate the market for the next few years until SSD prices come into line with current Hard Drives.
Why is an SSD hard drive more reliable under rugged conditions than a IDE hard drive?
SSD hard drives have no moving parts that can disintegrate under rugged conditions. Because SDD drives have no moving parts, they are much faster, much rugged,consume less power, last longer
What is HDD SSD?
HDD stands for Hard Disk Drive. SDD stands for Solid State Drive.
What is a hybrid hard drive is?

Can one upgrade the hard drive of a macbook air currently you have the 128gb?
That 128GB drive is actually an SSD not a Hard Drive and no it isn't possible to replace the internal drive in a mac
Why is an SSD hard drive more reliable under rugged conditions than and IDE hard drive?
ide hard drives are the old, slower, less capacity drives. sata are the modern, faster, large capacity drives. and ssd are the new, MUCH faster, medium capacity drives. ssd stands for Solid State Drive. it has no moving pieces inside. its basically a flash drive but in hard drive form. ssd's are also very durable u can drop them and they wont be damaged. ide drives have moving parts in them therefor the read/write head can scratch the disk easily if it is dropped and if shaked very hard it cna be damaged also. ssd's are VERY expensive though.
