I'm embarrassed to admit it, but the Samsung SSD came with some migration software I've since found. I unboxed the SSD and mounted it in a 3.5" adapter for 2.5" drives. Then yesterday, I had misplaced the box and had forgotten exactly what it came with. I'm swimming in computer parts here and have been working on 4 new computers, which has been very hectic. Still, using my own software, brought out the fact that Win7 can't initialize SSDs, but it can format them after that.
Two new computers for me are a Vista-64 Ultimate, which is a very hard license to get, and a Win7-64 HomePremium, but both computers use the cheapie Gigabyte board listed and I bought 2 motherboards for each system for replacements if ever needed. The boards were for economy and being able to load XP, but after discovering a problem with the onboard graphics that was causing blue-screen-crashes I became very worried. Adding separate graphics cards has however fixed the problem.
The two computers for my kids are mostly assembled and will be Win7-64 boxes, but have decided to hold off completion till Win10 is released and run both. Also, their computers have more expensive motherboards and XP-Pro-SP2 won't run on them.
