HP said I can't clone victory 8.1

Tech tell me can I add SDS and make primary but I can't clone or retrieve OS 8.1 to new ssd dr4ive.  I need to buy 8.1 WIN to do retail.   It makes no sense to me, but I've heard two different tech supports staff.

The DSS came with migration software so that you can clone your HARD drive?

Please make sure that the SSD has enough space to hold all the data on the HARD drive.  If this isn't the case, you can transfer some of them on a backup disk.

The first thing you need to do is enter the BIOS to make sure that it is set to AHCI.  This is very important because if you do this after the SSD is installed it will cause problems.  This setting allows all the special functions of the SSD is available.

When I installed my SSD, I kept the HARD drive installed as it was when it came from the factory.  In this way he was not changed and ready for an emergency.  I used an adapter and installed the SSD drive in a 3.5 drive Bay "vacant.  Then, connected to one of the vacant SATA connectors on the motherboard.  I installed the software of migration on the HARD drive.  Once installed, you can run it.  You choose the disk HARD like the original disc and the SSD as Destination disk.  Once the disc has been cloned, I disconnected the HARD drive and started.  The SSD is started the first time.

I don't think it would hurt anything to this give a try.  If it doesn't work, you can always purchase the full copy of 8.1 to win.
