    I do.




    :)





    but I recommend a clean install (to properly setup the O/S partitions that Windows needs to create, if nothing else - which will ensure an aligned SSD).

    You don't have to...

    Create the recovery disk (to a USB Key) and use it to install to the new drive.

    I used Macrium Reflect and it sorts out the alignmet. Just click clone drive and select the destination drive and after its done reboot, go into the bios and change the boot order so it boots to the msata.
    Then boot.
