Hi,
I was planning to upgrade to a SSD since my current HDD has some issues. I've never done this before, so I wanted to make sure I had the right plan.
I have a few problems:
1. I don't have access to my Windows 7 recovery disc, only my product key, but I was told to just burn an iso onto a USB and change the boot order to prioritize USB. This is fine right?
2. I can't remove my current HDD because there's a striped screw that I'm unable to remove. There is no problem with the SSD being in the 2nd drive bay right? I read that I should remove the HDD when installing Windows on the SSD, but since that's not an option is it still safe to do so with the HDD still plugged in?
Thanks in advance!
