Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No problem in installing an SSD. The problem is to install the OS on the SSD. You can try to image the HD to the SSD before booting up and let Win10 configure the system. Recommend that you realign the SSD before you start.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I switched to SSD even the first day. You need to have a 16GB USB drive. Backup you data, and open Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Warning: data on USB drive WILL BE ERASED during the process! The speed is much, much better with SSD.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you do an upgrade as you say to a Solid State Drive (SSD), then you will have to reinstall Windows. Back up all your data, apps, and personal settings to a flash drive, use that Flash to boot to the new SSD. You should be okay. Remember, it really isn't an "upgrade" to an SSD, you are actually replacing the whole drive that stores Windows... Hope that makes sense
