Hi I have seen few tutorials but am still not sure so just asking for some help. I have an old vostro 3550 with i5 processor and SATA II (i think so anyway!) and HDD. i want to upgrade this to an SSD.
1) My laptop has a hard drive on side which you just "pull" out. the videos that i saw online mostly have hard drive at bottom section and instructions say to remove the cables etc. i am thinking i just need to pull old HDD out and put new SSD in without worrying about any cables etc. am i correct?
2) i want to do a fresh install of windows 7 on SSD. Is it best done "outside" with SSD connected as USB or shall i replace HDD with SSD and then do installation.
3) When do i change BIOS setting to AHCI? before or after the install? thanks
