I think I may go with popeyespappy's suggestion and install Windows again. If I'm going to be paying money for software to clone my existing HDD than maybe I should just install Windows again and then only copy the files I need.

2.5" SSD's are the same size as most laptop drives. Many newer cases have slots for 2.5" drives. Adaptors are cheap for those that don't.

1 TB SSD's can be found for less than $150 with little effort. No reason not to get one at that price. Or you could get a 256 GB SSD for your OS and programs and a 4 TB HDD for the rest of your files for $150.
