I am changing my hard drive for more capacity and new os. I have a Samsung pm830 ssd 2.5" 7mm 128 gb 6.0gbps, installing new Samsung 850 evo 2.5" 7mm 250gb. I'm not cloning the drive, want a new clean install. Are there any specific steps I should take?

1. Install with only the new drive connected.
2. Have all of your username/passwords documented
3. If needed, have your OS license key written down
4. Have all of your drivers downloaded and on a USB stick

Go.
