Thanks bud, I'm just starting to get into it. Downloaded Macrium today to ease HDD-to-SSD transfer on my trusty 15-year-old laptop. The 15-year-old HDD was getting noticeably slower. I have to work with this home computer during the upcoming week, and I wondered if the HDD would survive it. Theoretically, the SSD swap might qualify as procrastination, but at least the work week will be more pleasant without sitting there watching the HDD spin. The SSD actually makes it my fastest Win 7 machine ( with only 4gb RAM ! ). For Win 7, it's SSD first, RAM second, processor third. Now I feel like I have a new computer! The RAM upgrade will arrive in a few days.
