I wanted to buy an SSD for my Dell Latitude D630 as the HDD is apparently failing. MY brother says I might have driver issues using XP with a SSD, is this true?

I have windows 8 on my laptop, I don't use the laptop its just a spare computer should my main one fail. After installation I don't think I installed anything besides Edge and a cd burner. Within the windows folder however there are a few folders that contain about 25gb or more of data. Prefetch...

I tried using Ubuntu with a dual boot on my lower end system and found out I'm too stupid for it. I need to remove the partition it's in, but I'm not sure which one it is.

I'm shopping around for an SSD to replace my aging magnetic HDD in an old laptop. I see that they make SSDs as small as 8GB. How does that work? I'm guessing that you load your OS onto the small SSD and insert a separate HDD for files or just connect an external. But is 8 or even 16GB adequate...

Hi, was wondering if I could get any help, but recently I bought a really cheap laptop, and its storage was 30GB. Due to windows 10 being the size it is, that's pretty much all my storage eaten up. i have recently purchased an 240GB SSD but was wondering how I can move all the windows 10 files...

Just like in the title. I have my Windows 10 installed on the SSD, but when I unplug HDD I can't run the computer. On top of that, in the boot menu I need to have HDD as the first boot option, because if not, the system just doesn't find the OS. And yes, I can find the system files on my SSD.

I am trying to add another SSD to my PC, but it shows up in Disk Manager as 'Unallocated' without a drive letter, and there is no option to initialize the disk available. Instead, Windows gives me the option to convert it to an MBR or a Dynamic disk, and if I chose either it is simply replaced...
