Why restore system image to new SSD?

Hard disk drive (HDD) is the traditional storage device. In the previously days, most of computers used it to storage data. But with the time went by, people found that the volume could not be enough to store all the data, and it was easy to break up and some other shortages. Later, the solid state drive (SSD) came out. It has covered many shortages of HDD--larger volume, safer storage, safer running speed, smaller noise, and so on. Thus, many users want to change their old HDD to SSD. Besides, many people change to the new SSD because of the broke of their old devices and they want to get a better performance.

SSD makes the computer perform better. Thus, people all like to change the devices before to new SSD. But some of them stored the very important data on the old storage devices. Those people want to change the device, but do not want to abandon the old data. Is there a way that can change the old storage device to SSD and keep the old data?

Restore system image to new SSD with Windows snap-in tool

Windows systems do have their own backup and restore tool, which can backup system and restore it. Take Windows 8 as an example:

First, you need to create a system backup image by using the “File History”. Click Start, and type “File History” in the search box. Then, click “System Image Backup” at the bottom of the left navigation bar, and follow the guide to create a system image backup and create a system repair disc.

Then, boot the Windows from the bootable disc, follow the guide to restore system image to SSD.

However, Windows built-in tool will create a system backup image that takes a lot of space, and the restore system image process is complicated. If there is a freeware which can create system backup image with a lower space, and restore system image in a simpler way, why we not try it?
