Looking to add an SSD as my OS drive and would like to know if anyone has made or found a complete step-by-step guide to installing and tweaking one. I know there is lots of information available, but looking to see if anyone has found a good one.
My primary concern is that my current HD is a 640GB WD Black that I have setup as a 100GB C: and 500GB D: and I would be using a 40GB Intel X25-V.
Would I need to shrink my current C: drive to 40GB, use a backup of my current C: (I use Acronis True Image) and restore the image to the SSD rather than clone since I have the physical drive as a C: and D:
Assuming that works, then swap drives leave Black unplugged and boot up with SSD on SATA 0.
Could I then shutdown, plug in the Black and delete the old C: partition?
Thanks, Bill
