A:AnswerIf you're familiar with the insides of a computer then this upgrade should be a breeze for you. Use the included software to transfer (clone) your boot drive information over and your pretty much done. It's no real difference between replacing HHD or SSD. The treat is that's it's a much quicker process. Start with your power off to hook up cables turn machine on start software and follow directions. All pretty straightforward and easy. Have fun! Enjoy the load differences. If you plan on having more than on SSD then I would acquire a dual mounting bracket.
