So finally jumping on the ssd bandwagon and had a question or two about it before I go ahead and switch out my main drive for the ssd.
So what I was planning on doing was just cloning my hd to the ssd but was then told that it was safer to just do a fresh install since cloning to ssd can cause alignment issues and/or other problems.
Alright fine but I'm a noob and started thinking what does it mean for an ssd to be alignined properly and why would cloning a drive mess it up? In fact why would a fresh install prevent alignment issues in the first place?
Yes I know these are probably things I should know already but I don't and since this forum is filled with so many smarter people than I, figured you guys could help me out.
Thanks in advance.
