    Replacing a laptop hard drive with a SSD

    I did basically what Bree suggests to upgrade the SSD in my Dell Inspiron 5577 laptop.
    I did a disc image (all partitions) with Macrium Reflect to a USB connected drive (you should have a backup anyway).
    Installed the new SSD, used Macrium bootable rescue media (flash drive) to boot Macrium. Restored the disc image to the new SSD.
    Confirmed all was well (booted from the new SSD) then used the free version of MiniTool Partition Wizard to reclaim "C" drive space as the restore was the size of the old/smaller drive.
