Hi!
So here's the story: recently, my old SSD (128gb OCZ Vertex 4) totally died on me. I was able to do a clean install of Windows on my hard drive (had to erase everything first but yeah, finally got Windows on). The thing is, I want to put in a new SSD and put windows there instead of on my hard drive. I bought myself a Samsung 850 EVO (MZ-75E500B/AM) with 500gb of storage.
So I have two questions:
First, how do I take out my old SSD and install my new one? Do I need a new mounting bracket thingy and new cables?
Secondly, how do I transfer Windows over to my new SSD, rather than having it on my HDD? Do I need to erase everything on my HDD (there isn't much) and do a clean install? Or is there a different clean and easy way of doing it?
Thanks so much!!
