MajorRawne Posted August 2, 2016 Hi, I am looking at buying a smaller SSD (probably one of the Samsung 250GB models). These questions are properly noobish: how do I make Windows boot from the SSD so that I don't have to sit on my arse for ten minutes every time I switch the computer on? Is it correct that you disconnect the HDD, connect the SSD, then simply switch the computer on? Once it's done, how do I take advantage of the SSD's speed when it comes to playing games - do I simply move my Steam and other games folders across onto the SSD? 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted August 2, 2016 You can use a program like Macrium Reflect to clone your hard drive's contents to your SSD. Then you will need to remove/disconnect your hard drive and make sure your BIOS/UEFI is set to boot from the SSD. You can move Steam stuff a couple of ways. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129 http://lifehacker.com/how-to-move-a-pc-game-to-another-hard-drive-without-re-1714706774 0 Share this post Link to post
MrDeAD1313 Posted August 4, 2016 Ah that's good info. I'm planning to get the same thing finally myself. I'll get that and try it out as well. Thanks for that Mr. Bloodshedder 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted August 5, 2016 Here's a guide that I found some time ago but failed to mention in my initial post. http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-upgrade-your-existing-hard-drive-in-under-an-hour/ 0 Share this post Link to post
