My SSD came with a migration CD with software which worked flawlessly for me. It transferred from my HDD while in Windows, then automatically set the boot after restart. With many worries about aligning the partition, turning on TRIM, etc. I can say this was one of the most worry free SSD installs I've done.

Yes it does Samsung Data Migration. I used the tool myself to copy my Windows partition from an older 64GB SSD to a 128GB 840 Pro

You get installation keys with the SSD, then you download software on website

No, no software is included. On my Mac I used Carbon Copy Cloner on duplicate the disk.

no it comes with a program for maintenance on the ssd. to migrate use windows migration tools or create an image with software like acronis

Yes it works very well, it works with Samsung migration software Just remember to plug the power supply that comes with it. I transfered about 340 gb of data from my old drive to a Samsung 840 evo 1 tb with no problems It took about 5 hours... Cheers.

I belive so it makes the old HD basically like a passport WD external drive so the only thing you might be missing is the software to do the transfer not sure on that part

Yes and No. You can order the SSD drive with a data transfer kit or order just the drive without a data transfer kit.

Most ssds don't supply any software. Google "todo backup Easeus". It's a free clone program that has worked perfectly for me. Download it and install it into the hard drive. Clone the hard drive onto the ssd. If you have never done this, youtube will play a video tutoring for this procedure.

Yes all you have to do is replace your old harddrive with the new, turn your computer on and then put in the disk and do what it tell you.

yes if you want to transfer your old info off of your old hard drive. in my case, my old hard drive was completely broke. so i couldn't transfer any info if i wanted to.

Make a backup of your current drive with the backup software built into windows.Your going to need 3 DVDS to do so.After the backup is made,you can install your SSD.Then reinstall the backup you just made to the SSD.That will put just windows back onto the SSD drive,and nothing else.If you want to copy the whole drive.Check out the link. It may help you decide on how you want to do it. http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid+state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows

Perfectly. All I had to do was to move a kind of protection and remover tab attached to the old HD for the new Samsung SSD. That's all. I know that some Hard Disks doesn't even have it. The size and position of the connectors are in the same place in both.

Yes, that is exactly why I purchased it, to upgrade my laptop drive to an ssd. I had purchased the ssd earlier, but it didn't come with the cable, so I got this cable, and it worked like a charm. I just used the cloning software that came with the ssd. It was way easier than I expected to upgrade the laptop too, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to upgrade because I went from waiting 30+ seconds for things to open, to a near instantaneous response.

No, it does not. You will have to go online for OS migration software (paid versions or free versions).

Yes. Plug in to a USB port. The driver will load. Open your file manager and move your files to the new drive.

there is a cable (StarTech.com USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable w/ UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD...by StarTech ) this will allow you to transfer your files.

No, you just have to go through the lengthy process of re-downloading everything onto the new hard drive

The only software it comes with is drive migration software. Yes it does come with a 2.5 to 3.5 adaptor.

No that I know, this software is speciphycally to copy the entire hard drive and installed it onto a new one, making sure the new hard drive is the same size or larger.
