I'm answering my own question. The Crucial M500 480GB SSD I bought did not come with any software. It was the only thing in the box. I also bought a OCZ SSD upgrade kit. This came with a CD copy of Arconis True Image but I dont have a dvd drive so cant use it.

I downloaded a freeware called AOMEI Backupper. Pretty easy and painless to use. Only problem I ran into was my laptop could not detect the SSD when I 1st connected it using the OCZ. Turns out that I had to format it 1st. Never formatted a drive using win7. So googled it. The actual cloning took several hours. Tying this on my new SSD drive.

The laptop does seem faster but its not a night and day difference. WEI hd score went from 5.9 to 7.9
