Gigabyte Motherboard GA-78LMT-USB3

Hi, Just a small thing, when my desktop loads it shows a load of computer information first before it boots into windows. Is there a way to bypass that step. Video in link below. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6e04v2i9481s2xc/20201015_184706_001.mp4?dl=0

I have a big man box of wires i've collected over years (what man doesn't). I'll look threw them later.

I did have the black cable connected last night, but Im guessing i still need another blue cable like in the video to connect to motherboard would that be correct. The black cable on it's own wasn't showing up in my drives.

Hi I thought wait till today so its bit brighter. Here's a quick video of how it is currently set up. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2vh9rsjrrq36lhv/20200911_122140.mp4?dl=0

Cheers mate

Would I need to buy any more cables?

I'll probably get a 500gb one so. My plan was to install new OS on SDD. I have a 1TB external drive I can back up important files. Then I can wipe my 2TB internal current drive and use it for storage. Unless there's a more efficient way to do it.

Super, thanks for your opinions. I don't particularly need a huge SSD. 250GB would be plenty, most of my hard drive now is used up with music.

Hi, So I'm looking to upgrade my desktop to a SSD drive. I'm a novice at dealing with the insides of computers so coming on here to make sure I purchase the correct SSD and if I need anything extra like adaptors, cables etc. My mother board is Gigabyte Motherboard GA-78LMT-USB3. My current...
