I have created an image of my desktop W8.1 and the small partition before it with Macrium Reflect Free Edition. I have decided that instead of using the current 2.5" older SATA II SSD that I was going to use an mSATA (SATA III) as my boot drive. After the creation of the desktop image I noticed the image file is ~33gb which would work perfect on the 120gb mSATA. I am not sure if it would be possible to use an image vs cloning on a new mSATA? I am also sure the cloning would not work as the mSATA is a 128gb vs the 160 of the current SSD.
I hope this is possible as I am a student and going through a reinstall of W8.1, windows updates, and the programs I use will just do me in! Any suggestions? TIA.
