So I bought a new SSD and I'm not sure if I should put my OS on it or leave it on my old one. The new SSD has more than double the sequential write times and has a bigger capacity for storage.

I would mainly use it for video games regardless of if I put the OS on it or not.

I'm just not sure what to do with it.

Would the OS benefit from the greater write times?

Using Win10.


Also, cloning or just starting from scratch? Is cloning really liable to mess stuff up?

The United States Department of Justice has accused computer science student Justin Liverman of being associated with Crackas with Attitude (CWA), the group that claimed to have accessed emails from the AOL account of CIA Director John Brennan in late 2015 and brought to widespread attention the vulnerability of a variety of US government computer systems to social engineering attacks.

On 8 September 2016 the FBI arrested Justin. At the time, media reports noted that Justin had gained admission to the Pentagon’s first bug bounty programme, using his skills to secure government systems from bad actors.

Of five individuals arrested on suspicion of involvement with CWA, he is one of only two – both US nationals – who are facing charges. Justin is expected to be indicted on 28 December 2016 and arraigned in early January in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Virgina for violating the notorious Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. He urgently needs your support to pay for his legal representation and expenses.
