Thanks tsnor! I have a few questions and I need to clear some things up. It turns out that the SSD that came with my computer was actually used to cache the HDD so my bad. The drive I was looking at in "My Computer" turned out to be a partition used to hold my drivers and possibly, some other things for some programs that came with the computer.
Also, yes, I know about overclocking the video card and I think I will be planning to do so. Until then, I will have to find myself a decent cooler. I have a few question though, and yes, I have read through most Y580 posts about clean installing, etc. PLEASE DO NOT REFER TO ANY LINKS IF POSSIBLE as I'm likely to have already read them.
Basically, I want to know how should I throw away my HDD for a SSD in order to do a clean install? If I do so, will the Windows 8 OEM still work which is under the laptop? What happens with the mSATA SSD that is used to cache with the HDD. What do I do with it? How will I put it to the most use, if possible? I really want to keep all my functioning buttons working such as the "One Key Recovery" button, etc.
If you actually do find a guide or make one that helps with me replacing the HDD for a SSD (also keeping the buttons on my laptop working) and a comprehensive answer/guide to what to do with my mSATA SSD after I split them apart using RapidTool.exe since the mSATA is used to cache with the HDD, THAT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
