New SSD do I have to reinstall all programs?

Binder · 2011-04-21 09:57:01

Hey lads. Was thinking of getting a 80gb SSD but I don't want the hassle of reinstalling all my programs. Is there a way to install OS on ssd and still be able to run the programs from my current OS drive.

No, if you want to change the drive paths of your programs the only way to do it is to reinstall them. You could try cloning your entire drive if you have enough space, although I've only seen it work when moving to a larger hard drive.
