Hi everybody,
I've recently received the 'Samsung 840 EVO 250GB" SSD card and I'm wondering how I would go about installing it.
I currently have a 1.5TB HDD which currents uses 600GB. I want to use my SSD card for the OS and documents, keeping my HDD for videos and mass storage.
Sources say I unplug my HDD, install the SSD with the windows CD and use a certain setting. I don't own the disk for my Windows OS. Another source claims I make a backup copy on my files then transfer them onto the SSD and delete what I don't need. I can't transfer 600GB onto a 250GB SSD. Lastly I've heard about a program which transfers the OS over but it costs £15 which I don't want to pay.
So I'm wondering, how would I go about installing my new SSD and putting my OS onto it whilst keeping my HDD as a storage device?
Thank you.
