Computer memory and SSD upgrades for Samsung Series 5 NP550P5C-T01US from Crucial
http://www.crucial.com/wcsstore/Cru...ssd/crucial-2-5-inch-ssd-install-guide-en.pdf
Crucial has a very good name in the SSD market as well and they perform great, I have 2 x Crucial MX200 500gb SSD's running together (Raid 0) in my main desktop PC and they have never missed a beat.
And all the tools you need to change the drives over is a small cross-head screwdriver.
Do you have access to another PC/laptop/usb thumb drive or portable hard drive ? you will need one to get your files off the old HDD. If you need them that is.
If you do download a (free) copy of Macrium Reflect backup software Macrium Reflect Free you can clone the entire disk onto the SSD.
If you don't need any files saving you can just swap out the drives and install a fresh copy of windows 10. by following these instructions. ....Windows 10
If you need more help just reply in this thread.
Enjoy the increased speed of that SSD.
I'm currently transferring the important files on my external hard drive, thank you so much for your help Paul, I truly appreciate it!
