Hi -- I'm a newbie here. I'm looking to buy the Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575-33BM laptop. These are the specs:
Intel Core i3-7100U Processor 7th Generation
4GB DDR4
1TB 5400RPM Hard Drive
It turns out that this laptop has an extra slot for an m.2 SSD. I'll be buying a 250GB SSD to install, so I'll have the SSD and a hard drive in the laptop. I'll also be buying an extra 4GB of RAM. I'd like to know:
Should I install the RAM before I turn on the computer or after?
Should I install the SSD before I turn on the computer or after?
I've read that once the SSD is installed, I would need to clone the Windows 10 OS that's on the hard drive to the SSD. I plan to use EaseUS Todo Backup to do this. Seeing as this will be a new computer, will this be a fairly straightforward process? For example, would I need a Windows system repair disk or anything like that?
I appreciate any and all guidance. Thanks in advance.
Mike
