Making a disc image wouldn't be too tough. I've got a few options for the PC. However, I want to do a clean install of the OS as you really get so few opportunities to do a little housecleaning. Ok, "a lot" of housecleaning.

Just clone your existing disk to your SSD. On a Mac I've done this with Disk Utility without issue. Not sure of the equivalent app on Windows though. Only thing I had to do was to make sure the partition of the existing drive was the same size or smaller than the partition on the new SSD drive. I did this by cutting the existing drive down to almost just the system files whilst temporarily storing non essentials elsewhere. It's a straightforward process. Pretty sure you'll be blown away by the speed increase of your SSD.

    Hi folks,

        Upon the suggestion of several people on the board, I've postponed the replacement of my i7 980x workstation in favor of acquiring a SSD for my system drive. The drive is now staring me down from my shelves next to my desk goading me into installing it once I get done with my lovely taxes. Is there a way I can take the licenses for the plugins I own from video copilot (Optical Flares, Twitch, element 3D) into the new OS installation so I don't have to ask them for new licenses? I'm aware this is probably a pipe dream.

P.S. While touching on the subject of taxes, does anyone have a recommendation for a CPA in the Portland, OR area. Or at least someone who specializes in the voodoo that we do?
