I am surprised by how hard it is to find reliable information about Window issues. Most pages I find look like thinly veiled pitches to get me to buy some stupid utility or online service. Its easy to find authoritative information on Mac OS or Linux issues, but I can't trust most of what I read about solving any Windows issue. I would like to swap out my system dive and replace it with an SSD. Every discussion on the web I come across wants me to download some third party backup/restore or cloning software. Isn't there anything in Windows or that comes from Microsoft for me to do it?
