I am getting a new ssd tomorrow and need to know how to put the os on there so my pc will load up faster and how to transfer games onto it ?
 
Solution
OK...try this and see if it works:

-----------------------------
Verify the actual used space on the current drive is significantly below the size of the new SSD
Download and install Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration, if a Samsung SSD)
Power off
Disconnect ALL drives except the current C and the new SSD
Power up
Run the Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration)
Select ALL the partitions on the existing C drive
Click the 'Clone' button
Wait until it is done
When it finishes, power off
Disconnect ALL drives except for the new SSD
Swap the SATA cables around so that the new drive is connected to the same SATA port as the old drive
Power up, and verify the BIOS boot order
If good, continue the power up

It should...


????
No, you disconnect the HDD.
Then you boot from the install media of whatever you have.
Install to the SSD

What OS is this?
 


windows 10 32 bit or ther other one cant remember
can you give me instructions please i need to do the pc now
 


Do you have a blank DVD or USB (4GB or larger)?

Go here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Download that tool and create your own install media.

Boot from that, and install on the SSD.
 


yes ive done that but do i factory reset ?? because factory rest automatically reinstall windows
