Hello,
I just want someone to quickly check over these steps and comment if anything is missing from here or if something wont work...
I'm going to install a 240gb Intel 520 SSD into a new Asus G75VX (with Windows 8) and keep the current 750gb HDD as a storage device (and C-Drive Backup)
Will this work?:
1. Install SSD into second slot of laptop
2. Start computer as normal.
3. Use Ease US Partition Master to shrink C drive down to about 150gb
4. Use Intel data migration software to migrate OS to SSD
5. Shut down laptop and restart to finish migration process.
6. Shut down again and start up into BIOS
7. Change the boot order from 1.ODD 2. HDD 3. SSD to 1.ODD 2.SDD 3.HDD.
8. Set the Sata Mode Selection to AHCI
9. Save everything and exit
10. Enjoy new SSD speed on next startup and keep old OS as backup on HDD
(11. Enable TRIM, S.M.A.R.T etc. to optimize for SSD)
Will this work without issues? Did I forget anything? Will having 2 /C Drives confuse the computer (My biggest fear)? My first time getting a new computer in 6 years and will be keeping for 6 years, so its pretty important.... please!
Thank you for your time!
