A clean install to the SSD using the Windows .iso from Microsoft's website would be easier and painless. Got anything important in the HDD?

If you want to clone just the OS partition, you'll need to rebuild the harddisk's MBR and the cloned's partition's boot sect. Similar for EFI based set ups on Windows 8.

Here's a guide

Try it out since it's on your SSD which has been cloned

Im using the window.iso and install it on my SSD. Now the OS is tranffered to D drive and have formatted the original C drive.

Is there any problem with D as my main drive instead of C?

and is there any way to check whether the computer speed did increase compared to previous?

The best indication would be the boot times. Other than that just smoother operations. Apps would load faster as well.

doesn't seem to change much on boot time. since my previous boot time is fast also. i think i just have to believe it is fast then.

and there is no problem rite if my OS is D drive instead of C.

Hmmm well if that's the only os drive around and you confirmed it boots from ssd. Then i guess it's fine.

Hi, I also just installed by Sandisk extreme pro ytd. I used the free easeus partition master software, no issues. Really damn fast, hope yours works well too
