Data migration software allows you to transfer the content stored on your previous drive (photos, videos, documents, etc.) to your new SSD. You only need to transfer data if you are replacing an older drive and want its contents on the new SSD. Crucial SSDs do not ship preloaded with operating system software, which means you get a blank slate with lots of storage capacity to fill with what you want.
Regardless of your operating system, you should always back up your data before transferring it to a new drive.
Data migration, also known as cloning, with Acronis® True Image™ HD software makes the transition from your old drive to your new SSD as easy as possible for Microsoft® Windows® users. This software comes free with your purchase of a Crucial SSD and takes just five steps to get started:
Although the Acronis data migration software is not currently supported on Mac systems, you can use Disk Utility (part of Mac OS X®) or other third-party applications to migrate data from a previous drive to your new SSD.*
