The SSD I have selected is a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SATA. Am I correct in assuming that it will work with my DELL Desktop (specs follow)?
I've used Norton software products. Does Microsoft have products included with Windows 7 that will allow me to resize my main HDD partition and clone it to the SSD or do I need 3rd party products?
Background:
I am convinced about the benefits of a SSD drive, and I selected one (Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD). My PC is a DELL Studio XPS 8100 desktop, Motherboard: Dell Inc. 0G3HR7 (CPU 1) 23 °C, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1, HDD: 931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-00BN5A0 ATA Device (SATA).
I am a retired Computer Programmer (35 yrs, mostly mainframe - some PC), and I did some disk partitioning/re-partitioning back in the early days of Pentium using Norton products, replaced video cards, added memory, replaced the Power Supply - that sort of thing.
Thanks in advance for your help in answering my questions.
