Installing a SSD in a Desktop PC

Installing a SSD in a desktop PC is easy and can drastically improve performance and the stability of your computer.

Solid-state drives will revive your computer and stretch your system without stretching your budget. More reliable and more durable than a traditional hard drive, it also runs silent and cool while making your computer more responsive than ever.

You literally couldn't have made a better tutorial vid than this. Seriously impressive video.

[Moriningland]

Best tutorial video ever. You didn’t spend five minutes talking about why you want to use an ssd you just got right to the point

Literally everyone: Bro this man nearly dropped it lmao

What an awesome guide! No nonsense, straight to the point.

No, no. You have to make this realistic. Show a computer pulled about 3/4 of the way out (that's as far as the tangle of cords attatched will allow it to slide out) from the lower computer storage space on the left or right side of the desk. No one wants to disconnect the thing from all those plugins on the back. Then show the tricky hand positions necessary to remove the side panel in this position. It won't be too hard since no one puts the screws back in from the last time they did this. You may also want to show the dust balls and clogged cooling fan, but that's optional. Then there is the issue of having to pull off the front facing panel  to get out the old drive people have in that extra drive space already. Can't pull it out the other way because of the tangle of cords inside the computer. Again, no one wants to pull those cords off the mother board to get them out of the way either. Finally, show the user putting the new SSD in with double sided tape or just leaving it sitting in the bay without screwing it in at all. After all, they want to test it first. They will then just put the side panel back on because "it's good enough" or they forgot and slide the computer back in. The conscientious among them may screw it in on one side, leaving it just hanging on the other. After all, it's light and that will be "good enough" as well.

And you know what? It'll work just fine for years that way, reinforcing the user's belief in their way of doing things.

To get the full capacity of your HDD, you can "extend" the partition in Disk Management. Just right click the partition at the bottom and the option to expand or extend should be there.

These few moments were more informative then the 40+ minute videos I've watched regarding this subject. If it's too quick for some viewers they should listen quicker.

This was more helpful than any of the other videos on this topic that I've seen thus far...particularly learning about the cables necessary for the connection, like what they look like, if you need to buy them, etc.

Extremely helpful thank you. I'm so glad you explained it in 2 minutes rather than 10.

I've never seen a video so straight-forward about installing computer components. Great Job!

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. To do what you described, first find a cloning software that allows you to select which partitions to copy. Clone the Windows partition to the SSD and verify it boots/runs. Then you can delete or hide the Windows partition on the HDD. The programs should run like they did before with the SSD and HDD in the same system as long as the remaining partition on the HDD is assigned the same drive letter it had before there shouldn't be any issue.

you forget to have people turn on ahci at bios, before installing the os !

[MoulfritProd]

This has got to be one of the best "how to" videos I have seen.
It is clear, concise and simple to follow.
Thanks for a great job!
