Or too full. Windows needs hard drive space to use as virtual memory when all the actual memory is in use.

Re: computer bogged down

40GB HDD and not even half of it is in use. I plan to replace it with an SSD but can I clone the drive over or is it likely to cause any conflicts, esp on a network computer?

I can't see how a direct clone would cause any problems. Unless the problem you have now is cause by registry or software isses, then they'd be moved to the SSD too.
Personally I like to do a fresh install.

Re: computer bogged down

I would lose the install, the files, the accounts etc. I don't have any of the software discs - all computers are imaged by the PCT. I don't have any of the images.

Re: computer bogged down

Well, there's no harm to be done in trying a clone, so go for it.
