I first installed Windows 8 about 2 years ago under the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) Version. After several upgrades, installation of software, etc. my little 128GB Kingston SSD was getting pretty full.

Since SSD prices have come down quite a bit, I decided to upgrade to a 240GB drive. Unlike earlier versions of Windows, I didn't want to install a fresh copy and then install all my programs and such.

This time I decided I was going to clone it to a larger drive. Well, after some research, I selected a Samsung drive that came with it's own cloning and data management software.

So here is the install, cloning and configuration step by step. It's been running for a couple of days now with absolutely no problems.
