Why isn’t there any information regarding cloning or transferring the original HDD and RECOVERY (D:) partition to the SSD. After my ssd upgrade I tried to use the recovery media and it would not work.. The portion or removal and replacing was pretty much spot on especially if you have done this type of thing before. (At least in my opinion)

Were you able to clone the HDD to your SSD? How about recovery? Also, is it possible and are there enough room for SSD and HDD? Please share your experience. Thank you!
