What OS ? What size HDD ?

It's a small 12.1 netbook.
Netbook HDD is 150gb which is petitioned into two drives, C and D.
C which is less than 40gb with 19gb used . It's also where OS and apps are located.
D basically is a "don't care" I can unload media stuffs from D into an external HDD.
OS is Win 7 32 Home Pre.

Just use the Win7 image back-up tool, to back up your OS drive to an external drive, then restore the image to your SSD ..

How would I boot my netbook from?
It has no optical drive!

When you run Image back-up, it will create a recover disk.. I believe you can use a USB disk ..

Or it might be a good time to get a usb optical ..

Or it might be a good time to get a usb 3 thumb drive ..

FTFY. Who the fawk transfers data at kilobytes per second speeds on spinning media any more? D:

If you have another machine, put both drives into the computer and use Ghost or Acronis to duplicate the old drive to the new drive. Some of the Kingston SSD's come with Acronis and it works pretty well.
