Need Tips for Moving Windows 8.1 from 1Tb HDD to 128 GB SSD.

Dec 16, 2013 4:19AM PST

Explain it to me like I'm 5. I am about to get a 128 Gb SSD. I have Windows 8 on a CD. I want to move my OS and Battlefield 4 to the SSD. My concerns are. How do I move Windows 8 without buying it again? Will I have to upgrade to 8.1 again? Will I lose all my tweaks and settings? Will I lose all my Drivers? How do I remove Windows 8 from my HDD without losing all my music, pictures and documents and without a backup? Can I install only Battlefield 4 to the SSD or do I have to move all of my Origin games over? Will 128Gb be enough for Windows 8 and Battlefield 4/Origin?
