I have a Windows 7 machine with an old HDD that sounds like it'll go any day now. I plan on replacing it with an SSD. The process should be relatively straightforward, since I have WHS and the machine in question is backed up.
However, I'm unsure whether Windows 7 is smart enough to realize that it has been restored onto an SSD and therefore switch to using TRIM and the like. Does anyone know either way?
Thanks. I'll do some more research. Really hope I can restore as it takes a long time to set up all the software I use. – Kent Boogaart – 2011-02-10T09:59:26.930
If the partitions on the disk were created by Windows Vista/7, they're already correctly aligned for a standard SSD page size, and so a disk-to-disk image should preserve that if your software is worth a damn. In the specific case of WHS, I think the partition has to be existing already, yes? So just create it under 7. It's only XP that's a problem. – Shinrai – 2011-02-10T15:17:29.247
