And can I just install in 2nd hd slot and clone stock hd and be done with it. I will keep stock hd as back up. Running win 8 with 8gb RAM. I would go with the 250 gb drive

Thanks

Hnmn 120 is pretty small, 256 will be better

Right but is it swap that easy with win 8? just clone drive to ssd. then pull old drive to save as backup

[Apexing]

yes you can just clone it like that.

I used a 128 and wasn't able to do a complete clone. I resorted to a clean install using a downloaded version of win8

How exactly do you clone the drive? I believe there are two physical drives in the Laptop, the 2nd one for me is more of a storage drive currently. Pull that one, insert SSD in that slot, boot machine.

How do you clone the drive from that point so that it boots as if nothing changed once you move the SSD into the first hdd position. (and maybe update the bios boot priority)

IE can you do this in windows? or do you need a seperate program?

If you don't understand this you should take it to a shop that does this kind of work and have them set it up for you.

I feel comfortable doing it myself, I was hoping someone might point me to a program that clones. Maybe I'll just google it and see the steps.

I would make an Image or clone the drive using Macrium Reflect.

To download the free version, just scroll down to the bottom of the page click on the download button.

Make an image of the HDD, then just re-image it to the new SSD or clone the HDD to the new SSD.
Below are a few YouTube videos that will help you.
