So i was looking at getting an ssd since battlefield 4 has 3 minute plus load times for me currently. I have never installed another hard drive before and was looking for advice on setup. Currently I have windows 8 with a 500gb older hard drive and I think i am sata 2. I was looking to keep my old hard drive for storage and have an ssd for like maybe windows and games. I am not very familiar with ssd so treat me as a novice in this area.
The main game I currently play is battlefield 4 , and then eventually probably titanfall as well as one steam game. Most of my games are origin and steam and I want to be able to only install certain games on the ssd that are important and not just a casual game i play here and there that are on origin and steam.
Firstly I am not sure about the install process of an ssd, files, windows, boots etc. But from what I gather i plug in the ssd set it as boot drive and install windows on it? Will it matter that I have windows 8 system builder? When it comes to things that run on startup like say razer synapse, evga precision x, antivirus, video drivers, sound drivers, do I install all of those on the ssd or will they be fine staying on the old hard drive?
Any tips on installing and file setup would be great. As for a hard drive I was looking at either a 240gb or 120/128gb crucial or samsung ssd.
