    So quick question since i've only done it once before and that on a desktop, if i clone the HDD that comes with the R3 to a new SSD it won't cause any issues will it? My work has the hardware for 2.5" SATA hdd's for cloning.

    Forrian. I've done this several times - You should be fine. After you get the SSD in, go through the optimization stuff that's covered on another thread in this forum.
