Now, follow up question....

When I get the new drive in...

In the past I always bare-metal formatted the computer, installed the OS+Apps, and restored my backed up user data.

I could do this again, but I want to save time this time. So I want to try a cloning utility to get the upgrade to the new drive done quickly. It's been a while since I've used one. Anyone got recommendations on Windows cloners?

Web searches are telling me to use either...
Macrium Reflect Free: http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx or...
EaseUs ToDo Backup Free: http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm

Any opinions on those, or others?
