Hi all,
I have a new acer aspire m5 583p laptop with 8.1 factory installed. It has a 500 GB 5400 rpm hdd, which I'd like to replace with a ssd. I have no recent experience cloning drives. In fact, this is the first operating system I've had newer than xp 32 bit. I read somewhere something about win 8 machines having security features in the bios that can interfere with simply cloning a drive. I want to figure out exactly how to do this before I start the process, so if any of you have any suggestions about what program to use or how to do it, I'm all ears.
