About to install pic related into my pc. According to this video, i can unplug my current HDD where Windows 7 is installed and plug in the new SSD.
install windows 7 on the SSD then later plug back in the HDD and use it as my file storage
is this correct ?
Also it's 8pm and im not able to buy a 2,5 to 3,5 bracket but im desperate to install it, should i use double tapes like he did on the video ?
im also not sure if i have 2 extra sata cables to connect both, i have to clean my desk open the case and look at it !

Just clone it and set the trim correctly.
>inb4 Poorfag oem win 7 copy
I have the same drive and that's what I did. Then I trimmed out all the junk. I you don't set windows correctly for the ssd you will trash it.

i do have an oem win 7 lol
i bought this dell pc yeaaars ago but all the hardware even case everything is new from last year
only the hdd is the old part....i will try my luck with the registration if not i will buy a new win7 key
just realized that i don't have a 2nd sata cable
also i have no fucking clue where the power connector ( cable ) is in this pc....
When you go to plug in the HDD make sure your boot drive is the SSD
SSDs don't have moving parts so for the time being, not having it secured won't be the end of the world.
>not sure if have 2 extra sata cables
Maybe you should prepare properly for something you're so eager to do
yeah just make sure to have a flash drive to boot to and install the OS on the ssd.. then once booted into the ssd format the hdd
i use tape for my SSD and have no problems
