Solve : Cloning SSHD to SSD??

1.	Solve : Cloning SSHD to SSD??
Answer» Hi, I bought a new OCZ Trion 150 480 GB that I want to use instead of my SSHD that I am currently using (Lenovo Y50 70, GTX 860m, i5, windows 10 Home). I have two PARTITIONS on the SSHD: one is 423 GB HDD and the other is 24 GB SSD. Is it possible to clone it as one partition only (since the whole new hard disk is SSD). Also, is it possible to shrink the size of the SSHD so I would get more space on the SSD.

Hi,

I bought a new OCZ Trion 150 480 GB that I want to use instead of my SSHD that I am currently using (Lenovo Y50 70, GTX 860m, i5, windows 10 Home). I have two PARTITIONS on the SSHD: one is 423 GB HDD and the other is 24 GB SSD.

Is it possible to clone it as one partition only (since the whole new hard disk is SSD). Also, is it possible to shrink the size of the SSHD so I would get more space on the SSD.

Thanks
