<div>had a few power surges / losses the other night and my desktop motherboard
died in the process. I’m looking at a refurbished dell unit with a solid
state drive as a replacement. I haven’t had to copy a full hard drive
since you used a parallel cable and some software who’s name escapes
me. What’s the best way to do this from a HDD to a SSD nowadays
??</div>
<div>lt’s a small format machine and I don’t know if I can put my old hard drive
in it to slave it for the copying.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Its also a windows 10 machine and my old machine was windows 7...
will win10 run all the software my 7 machine did ?? I’m getting so
computer illiterate !!!</div>
