    after seeing this site:
    Paragon Migrate OS to SSD - System migration to Solid State Drives (SSD) - Overview

    i realized this would be the most convienient way to install windows in a intel 310 msata. Alignment will be taken care of and it will be exactly the same factory image.

    Opinions for those who tried it?
    i don't mind negating the performance boost when doing the clean install because if i so chose to do that...there would be a good chance i will mess up on something.

    I also have a copy of Paragon Migrate lying around and a 310 msata drive on its way to me. I also wonder if it's any good for setting the 310 up as an OS drive?

    My other question is:

    I finally made my recovery discs today, about a month and a half after receiving my X220i. Should I have done it a month and a half ago and will this make the discs less suitable?

    I'm having trouble fathoming how someone can mess up something on a clean install. I personally would go with a clean install if you are switching from a HDD to SSD.
