I recently built a computer and I used a hard drive I had from the previous pc.
It is giving me very slow startup times and it is very slow to respond after waking up from sleep.
I decided I wanted an ssd to boost my pc's performance, but I don't want to spend $200 on one, so I'm choosing to buy a 128gb ssd and installing it along with my current hard drive for the storage.
Is this a good option for me?
I'm looking at this ssd: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX100-2-5-Inch-Internal-CT128MX100SSD1/dp/B00KFAGD88/ref=zg_bs_1292116011_8
How exactly will this work? I have multiple questions regarding this setup.
Do I need a copy of windows 7 on both of the storage devices?
If I need to install windows on my ssd, do I need to get a new copy of windows or can I use the code that I used with my hard drive?
Will only the things that are stored on my ssd boot up faster? Will I have to install every game I want to load faster on to my ssd? What about my internet browser?
Should I format my hard drive and what will I want to store on there that wont benefit from an ssd?
Thanks a lot for anything that can clear this situation up for me.
