M800: How to add SSD (for an existing HARD disk)

Hello

I currently have an old Thinkpad T400 having an SSD inside. The SSD has been installed there maybe 2 years ago, but now I'm upgrading to a desktop M800. I ordered the M800 with cheaper hard drive with the plan to migrate my current SSD in it. But I was wondering if there is a procedure that I follow for what happens once the hard drive is physically installed. Is there a document somewhere online or an easy way for all it? Or is it more like a recovery by using the tool of Windows Media and then comes the installation of Windows on the SSD and then go online and start to download drivers one by one?

Thank you

Horace

You order your M800 Office with the 2nd disc vacuum hook pre-installed blue plastic?  If so, you just take your SSD 2.5 "of the T400 and wrap clamp empty blue plastic delivered by the M800 around it and put back the final cut in the 2nd cage of readers of the M800.  Now, he is physically installed.

Then, since the two physical disks are now available at the same time and the M800 with HARD drive spinner delivered will be Win7/Win10 pre-installed on the HARD drive cone, you can simply use Macrium reflect free (or similar product) installed in operational windows from the spinner of HARD drive to clone windows delivered pre-installed HARD drive spinner on to the SSD.

Then re - start and stop to enter the configuration of the BIOS of the M800 utility and change the start-up boot sequence to display the SSD as the first drive hard (you can exclude the spinner of the disk in the list, since you are not going to use it to start again).  Save and exit the BIOS Setup utility and re-boot, which should take place now of the SSD (running the provided Lenovo delivered Windows that you just cloned from the spinner of the HDD to the SSD).

You should now be initialized and operational of the SSD, and you can confirm that the SSD should be C and other partitions (on the spinner HDD) D and higher.

Now, you can use Partition Wizard free to remove all partitions on the HARD drive, to re-purpose spinner it as a 2nd disc of 'data '.  You can also then Partition Wizard allows you to create new partitions on the HARD drive cone that you can use for anything you want (for example to perform backups regular image/data from SSD to target folders on the spinner HDD backup).

There is really no reason to "start from scratch" installation of Windows on a target freshly wiping SSD and then having to download/install all drivers provided by Lenovo and software for the M800.  Why waste your time?  Just clone the delivered spinner of the disk HARD Windows through to the SSD, delete the contents of the Pan from HARD drive, create 'data' or the partitions on the HARD drive cone and use it.

You now have a work M800 2 discs (with additional 'data' or the partitions on spinner SSD or HARD drive).

As you probably know, there are some Windows features (for example "weekly defrag") that should NOT be run on an SSD, even if they are enabled by default on a Windows HARD drive spinner.  If you install Windows from scratch on an SSD, these would have been auto-optimisé to you by the Windows Installer, but this is not how you got here (since you used the spinner provided by Lenovo Windows disk cloning).  So when you clone HARD drive spinner Windows more SSD you must then manually "twist" a few things in Windows to optimize performance specially for SSDS.

Just a quick search online for "optimize Windows for SSD" will give you the standard set of tweaking recommendations accepted.  There will be differing opinions, but the important thing here is that your cloned windows now running on the SSD was initially installed on HARD drive spinner, no SSD, so automatically installed SSD optimizations were not initially defined.

  • How to add SSD for Optiplex 755 (Small Form Factor)

    Hi-

    I want to add a SSD for my Optiplex 755 (Small Form Factor) boot drive while maintaining the HARD disk it came with and the player optical slimline. There is a SATA port on the motherboard, but there is no open Bay and not a lot of room in the chassis (I do not see a power open cable).

    Anyone know how or if I can add a SSD to 2.5 inches to this machine? Would need a power splitter? And it's even bothered to improve an Optiplex 755-10 Windows?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Kurt

    my suggestion is probably the easiest method without hassle by simply installing this new HDD as slave disk because all motherboards can handle at least two hard drives.

    (Incidentally, hard drives have few riders can designate the device as a master or slave).

    the main drive with the operating system is the master, and you can leave it as what.  No software purchase, no worries with imaging or backup and no formatting.

    the second hard drive, IE. your new hard drive will be the slave drive.  then, you can move all your personal files from the master to the slave.

    by moving and separating your personal data system data, you relieve your master drive with as the abundance of data and establish a methodology that will preserve your personal files where system drive is damaged.

    If you do not use the method described above, I can share the steps to moving your personal files on the hot spare.

  • I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

    You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

    Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

    Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

  • How to add podcasts to an existing account?

    I already downloaded 4 to 5 podcasts on my account, but I can't understand how I add another. I can repeat the process, but then I should add these 5 previous podcasts.

    I can't understand how it just add to my account.

    Everyone knows this?

    Thank you!

    Do you mean "podcasts" or do you mean "episodes"? A podcast is, indeed, the 'wrapper' for the episodes and has its own page in the iTunes Store, in which episodes show. The Store and iTunes work stream, which contains the information in a specific format. All what you need to do is add an episode to the food and the re - publish: subscribers in iTunes will see the new episode almost immediately and the store will be updated in 1 or 2 days.

    If you want to add a new podcast, with its own distinct episodes of your existing, just go to http://podcastsconnect.apple.com and click on the icon "+" at the top left to add. This will not affect your existing podcast.

    When you have any questions you should post the URL of your feed and iTunes Store page, because without them, we can give very general answers.

  • How to add new VO to existing AppModule

    I have an AppModule existing with certain existing vo
    Now, I created a new EO with links and a VO with viewlinks. The wizard asks me to add this to the existing appmodule which is ok but I want to add the VO again to be a child of an existing instance in the appmodule.

    By default, the wizard creates a new instance of the master with the new VO as a child. But how to add the new VO as a child to an existing instance in the appmodule? I can't find an option for that...

    Do you mean:

    1. go in the module-> application data model.
    2. Select an instance of VO already added in the data (right) model.
    3. click on the + in front on the object VO (left) so that it displays all the correspondign to view links for VO.
    4. choose on of them and he shuffle to the data model.

    In this way, you add a new detail to an existing instance of the VO in the data model.

    Or I do not understand your question?
