    Hello, my old 8935G is still good enough for what I need and it's only too slow on hd operations.
    Since it has now Win7 32bit, I'm planning a fresh Win7 x64 installation and I'm thinking of this solution:
    • move current 500GB HD to second bay
    • put a new SSD into first bay

    My questions are:
    • will any 2.5" SSD be good for it? What I have to check? Will a SATA 3 work on my SATA controller? Will 32GB be enough?
    • will a tool like MiniTool Partition Wizard be able to move to "hidden" partitions to the new disk? They're a recovery one and a special media application to listen to music without booting full WIndows
    • can anybody provide a link to a guide on how to put "\Users" and "\Programs" directory on D:?

    Thank you very much!
