I want to replace the old 120gb IDE drive in my computer with an SSD to get some additional life out of it as I am short of funds right now.
My board supports both IDE and Sata, when I built the machine in 2008 I used my old hard drive from 2003 (need to send this thing back to seagate to put in a museum, still has 95% on SMART tests.).
The system is running windows xp 32 bit.
Can I clone the IDE drive to the Sata drive, or would that break windows afterwards? Or is it a bad idea in general (why)?
I’ve heard XP might not support TRIM (don’t know if that’s important or true)
