The SSD is state of the art, typically in Kingston excellent quality.
Here are a few tips to upgrade from an HDD to an additional SSD:
1. I'm assuming that you want to continue using their existing hard drive, and only want to transfer the operating system and the applications installed on the SSD Paogramme.
2. The aim is also to keep their own files on the hard drive, as they (at least for me) in scope are so large (600GB) which is an attitude on SSD not included.
3. It is assumed that Windows 7, Windows system, it is similar, but not always so easy to implement. The corresponding switches are partly elsewhere to find in the system.
First step:
Start on the old system "Windows Easy Transfer", and only save the settings, not the files! The aim should be a file, not in a newly created empty folder on the disk, the best in their own files, or about c: note / jaw / user and computer name to the letter.
Second step:
Disconnect the existing hard drive, and connect the SSD to the first SATA controller. In Bios control that runs the controller in AHCI mode, and turn off the IDE compatibility. Now Windows install, this is used, check that the same computer name, as previously selected, and the user should be the same name (literally!). If a password has been assigned, and this should at least be in the new application initially the same. After you complete installation of the device before the usual programs (browser etc.) are installed:
Third step:
Reconnect the existing hard drive, then in the BIOS control, which is set to the boot sequence, the boot up the SSD first. Then the Easy Transfer file open after reboot, and the settings and remaining user (if any) import. Now comes the Special Trick:
Step Four:
on the old hard disk to the open the old user folder Explorer, or about F: / Users / (user acceptance).
Now Windows complains that you have to take ownership of the files first, which you agree to, and wait a little because first of all files and folders, the permissions must be gestetzt.
Now you're going in the Explorer to "desktop / (user name) /".
There you should now see folders such as "Download", "My Pictures", etc.
Each of these folders, you can by right-clicking: Click Properties, and there the tab "Path"
Now you can this by "shifting" in your user folder on your old installation move
So F: / Users / (user acceptance) / Download
Who trusts can even change the view settings for the folder, the files are all visible
(Organize - Folder and Search Options - View hidden files and folders)
And the hidden folder move accordingly.
This must be done for each user.
Finishing line:
Now all programs that are needed to be reinstalled.
Who knows, after a few choice hidden folders shifts back to the SSD. But loses the ability to start the old system, if necessary.
Effect:
- Especially if you have moved the hidden folder, many installed programs have directly back your old settings after the procedure.
- The user files were not moved, thus there is less damaged files and it saves time.
- The installed programs are on the SSD. The programs start by quickly.
- The old system can be reactivated by the boot selection in the Bios in an emergency to remove about viruses on the SSD instalation.
I hope this is for someone a suggestion.
