    Hi all,

    I just bought a new Crucial M4 and am eager to plug it into my X220. The thing is I have no clue how to move the entire system from the current HDD to SSD. How do I keep the genuine Window key and stuff? Any help is much appreciated.

    You need some cloning software. Acronis True Image does the job nicely and some SSD manufacturers have a customised version of it on their web site ready for people to download and use.
