Hi, I am a few days from getting a new SSD by mail and am a bit unsure about installing these things.
I am replacing a Samsung EVO 256GB SSD with a Corsair MP600 1TB SSD. My motherboard only has 1 slot for this...that I see. I do also have a 1 TB HDD and can easily make some room on.
As I am sure you can already guess from the title, Windows 10 is on my Samsung SSD.
So, having never replaced an HDD, much less a SSD, I am a bit weary and would love some help.
question 1: How would I get windows 10 over to my HDD?
question 2: How would I get windows 10 back to my new SSD?
question 3: Is there anything I need to do differently with SSDs upon a fresh installation like this? I hear about setting up partitions to avoid filling the drive up to much, but don't understand much about this. Are there drivers or similar? Stuff like that.
question 4: Is it possible to use my Samsung SSD as an external drive or maybe as an internal drive through a different port? It's still pretty decent, just not much storage for today's standards, so not looking to get rid of it.
Thanks ahead, having a hard time finding these answers.
