Hello.
I have purchased a new Dell Precision M4800 laptop and going to receive it with unformatted SAtA SSD 128GB drive and a unformatted hard drive with 750GB.

I would appreciate receiving specific instructions how to install genuine Windows 7 - 64 bit ( install the OS on the SSD drive).

I am going to transfer data from my old Dell Inspiron 5500 and then to give it to one of my grandchildren.

Thanks

1) Backup the files
2) Download the drivers from Dell ( network, audio, etc. ) or other manufacturer website, like the chipset driver from intel download center. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=20775
3) Watch the video for how to replacement hard drive. http://www.laptopinventory.com/LaptopInventory.php/Dell/Precision/M4400/Hard%20Drive
4) Also here is how to clean install the win7, make sure you switch to storage setting to AHCI, you download the win7 ISO and using either DVD or USB to boot the computer. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html
5) After done the installation, tweak the SSD. http://www.overclock.net/t/1133897/windows-7-ssd-tweaking-guide
