I'm contemplating replacing my "trainer" laptop with an SSD. It does run TR, but struggles, disk thrashing an inordinate amount sometimes. Spec-wise, it isn't anything much, i3 dual core, 8Gb RAM, 1 Gb Intel Graphics, but that should be sufficient. As I don't use it for much else I reckon £20-£30 in a 120/240Gb SSD might be a useful upgrade, against swapping which would be > £200 even secondhand.
Only, I can't quite get my head around the migration, whether and how to migrate the W10 from the existing h/d. I know one option is to go for a Linux distro, but I'm a little afraid of hitting fun and games with getting the apps to run, most seem to support Win/iOS/Android, so some kind of virtualisation, along with the USB drivers, and it is useful having a spare win machine around. There seem to be utilities around that will clone if you can hang a second disk off, and that might be possible using USB/SATA adapter, but of course a laptop only has a single sata port. Another possibility might be to burn a dvd using some utility - any ideas?
