Partial SSD migration/transfer of windows 7

Ok so my M17x is here and am considering a 128gb SSD drive to go along with my original HDD. This is so I can put my OS onto it and then put my favourite games on there too to save time with loading etc My question is: can I migrate my OS system and games over without making a full clone of the HDD or individually re installing all my games (plus saves) onto it. I am currently holding onto about 200GB of files on my HDD but don't fancy having to clear one and then re install everything on the other. I have been looking around but all I've read are full hard drive cloning techniques and only os transfers. Any help is greatly appreciated and if anyone has an SSD installed along with a HDD what did you do and were you able to do this successfully?

 

I used EASUS Partition Master to clone my OS over to an SSD from HDD, however the amount of data I was transfering was less than the new drive. I just checked the program and there is a "partition copy" wizard which might help. If you have your operating system on a seperate partition on the drive you may be able to simply clone that to the SSD. I haven't tried this so don't know if it will work.

Sadly it's all on the same partition. Cheers anyway )

 

I know you'd rather not do a re-install, but I highly recommend doing one. Windows automatically sets up trim and should disable defrag on a new install with an SSD. I suggest putting in the new SSD into the free port and installing Windows, and getting it set up the way you want. Don't wipe your original HDD, just move over the save files and whatever other things you need to the SSD, then delete what you don't need from it, and point your documents, music, pics, etc folders to the HDD where everything already is.
