Hi guys, i just bought a laptop preloaded with windows 8. Sadly it is using a hdd so i require to swap it out for a ssd. But it as i guess you expert know, window8 does not have product key. So how do I swap a ssd in if I do not want to clone the drive? Thanks in advance.

Hi, just sharing my experiences, i tried cloning windows 8 using acronis and symantec ghost before, both doesn't work. somehow, windows 8 engineers made it unable to clone.

after searching on the net, i found a newer software that seems to be updated to support win 8 cloning. most importantly, free :s22:
