I have a new SSD and I would like to migrate Windows 7 to this new drive. I did already a disk image of my partition C where now Windows 7 is still located with the bootloader.
Since I want to benefit completely of the new speed of the SSD drive, I would like the bootloader to be on this drive. Do I just need to copy the image on the SSD and then activate the drive and changing the boot order on bios? I am doubiting because actually on the image the entry will be:
Name: Windows 7
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Windows Directory: \Windows
But the new drive won't be C anymore... because I won't take away the old drives...
Should I just add a second entry on the bootloader before I do the disk image of C with the new drive (trying to find out wich letter will be assigned)? For example:
Name: Windows 7
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: F:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Windows Directory: \Windows
Or should I follow the procedure you have written in tips and tricks?
Thank you in advance.
