Great Work....



I had this project too about a year ago.

I replaced the ordinary HDD with a SSD

Removed the Optical Drive and installed a HDD Caddy with a 1Tb Ordinary HDD

Now my old 13" Laptop has 2 Storage devices (128gb SSD + 1 Tb Ordinary HDD)

Finally had time to install Windows 8.1 on my new SSD.






Out with the OLD, in with the NEW!



Slooooooow boot/shutdown on the old HDD with Win7 Pro! (3 minutes and counting...)



Super quick on the new SSD with Win8.1! (15 seconds or less)

Found new homes for the old HDD and displaced internal DVD drive

the obligatory change from hdd to ssd. converting hdd to secondary drive via the odd slot.

Tax refund! More toys please! Lol.

After not using it for 4 months, the battery pack on the asus netbook died and would no longer hold a charge.
Bought a new battery pack for it:




Next project will be reconditioning the old cells once I get this battery balancer:

How about ang OS? Gi-clone nimu ang OS Image from HDD to SSD or fresh copy ang OS?

On my laptops I prefer a fresh install. I feel better knowing all that junk from the old HDD doesn't carry over to the new one. Since I only use around 8-10 important applications, it doesn't take too long to reinstall them. And most of my data are on the cloud and external HDD so that also lessens the hassle.

I'm more concerned sa activation. OEM OS raman gud ni ako niya akong Win10 through upgrade rah. Duha2 ko unsaon nako pagbalhin sa SSD nga legit gihapon

there's a special partition on the laptop's hdd where the OS resides.
your laptop should also come with a special backup software that allows you to burn the OEM OS to a DVD.
if you bought the laptop you should have a valid key. you can also download Win10 from MS, it's a 4GB ISO.
