Being a long time Acronis user this was the solution I was planning to use if and when I actually can justify buying an SSD. I thought I would make an Acronis backup of my system and just restore it to the SSD. But, given that you suggested this, I am prompted to ask if you have ever tried it? Not restoring to disc - unfortunately I have had to do this multiple times so I know Acronis backups work just fine and can be lifesavers - but restoring a hard drive backup to an SSD.Will backing up a hard drive and restoring to an SSD with Acronis work? Will it work with Windows 7 (which is what I am running)? I currently have TI 2013 so I assume it would be as up to date as possible.
When I recently upgraded to an SSD, this is exactly how I moved my OS's & data from the original hard drive to the new SSD. First, I made an Acronis (TI2010) backup (image) of each of the 4 partitions I wanted to move over (XP, Vista x64, Win7 x64, and Apps). After doing that I booted from my Acronis boot CD and restored the backups to the SSD one by one, adjusting the partition sizes as I went along (some of the original partitions were marginal in size). Everything went smoothly and the partitions were properly aligned. So, I can vouch that the procedure does work.
