Subject: [OT] How do I clone an OS drive for replacement?

Hello, I have a first gen 128 GB SSD for my OS drive (win 7 64 pro) and I just got a samsung EVO 500 GB drive I want to replace it with. (520 MB/s read / write. Yes!)

- I want to clone the original drive. Do I need to make a partition on the 500 that is exactly 128? I was hoping this was not the case because my program files directory is huge and I wanted more room it.

-- If cloned exactly and replaced on the same SATA cable bus, it will act exactly as the other drive no? I won't need to change any BIOS settings?

- Best software for this task? Will windows built in drive imaging tool be ok?

- Any other gotchas I should look for?

Thanks!
