Otherwise, I think it's always best to start with a fresh install of the OS. All the instructions I found specified cloning, so I didn't think of a fresh install. I see the advantage of a fresh install. The advantage of cloning is that it's simpler than a fresh install, just 1 step instead of 3 or more (back up user files, do install, restore user files) for a fresh install. Since I have no experience at either of these, I'll explore the fresh install route. So far I have the SSD initialized and formatted. Now I can worry about putting the files on it.
January 6, 20188 yr Macrium Reflect has worked well for me in the work situations where cloning was needed. I prefer to do a clean/fresh install as well, but dread the time and work needed to get everything reinstalled and configured. I've been putting off upgrading my primary 120GB SSD to a 500GB I've already purchased for months now.
