![]() Then put the old hard drive into the enclosure that you used t clone the SSD and you will have an external hard drive that you csn use for data backups, or to hold periodically updated clones of your entire system, using the same cloning software you used to originally clone the SSD. ![]() Now the laptop will boot up to the system and installed applications and data that you were used to, just much faster. ![]() Once the old hard drive has been cloned to the new SSD, remove the SSD from the external enclosure and install it into the laptop as shown in the video. Then connect the new drive to the laptop using the USB cable from the enclosure, and use disk cloning software, which may be included with the new SSD or one of the good freeware versions on the internet, to copy the Operating System, applications, settings, and data from the old drive to the new SSD in the external enclosure. ![]() Instead, to preserve your system and just vcange the hard drive type, put the new drive in an external USB3 enclosure (about $10 online). For the video that shows how to physically install a new SSD, I would recommend that the old hard drive be CLONED to the new drive FIRST, not after the new drive has been installed unless you want to reinstall everything from the beginning.
