Hi,

does anyone know if replacing the 1TB hard disk with a 1TB SSD is possible? (I’m thinking in terms of cloning the whole disk: can I go for a 1TB SSD or do I need a bigger one? Do hidden partitions for restoring the system / this kind of stuff get copied correctly? Most tutorials online just copy the Windows partition: wouldn’t want to find out I can’t reset the system if needed.)
