Ok, I have a laptop which currently has a measly 250GB HD. I have purchased a 1TB and a copy of Windows 8.1 full version. You can probably imagine I want to install the harddrive and then install windows 8.1. All I want to back up are documents, music, photos, not to fussed about software as I have time to reinstall if needed. I have a few questions as I'm not the most tech savvy guy.
One: Do I partition the hard drive before putting it into the laptop and installing windows, or will it give me that option if i just put the hard drive in and turn the laptop on?
Two: If i have do partition before putting it in, how do i go about that?
Three: How much would you recommend partitioning for windows 8.1?
Four: Is it as simple as putting the new hard drive in and putting the installation disc in, then turning the laptop on?
Five: I was told SSD is a pretty good alternative, but would it be better to use a 1TB HDD or 250GB SSD?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
