[QUOTE="Azure, post: 1417658, member: 258358"] Hello Friends! I'm currently thinking of switching my old HDD from my [B]late summer 2007[/B] Macbook Pro to a Solid State Disc. But i have a few question i hope any of you could have answer for. 1) I've been told i can take a time machine backup of my current harddisc. Then switch it out with the SSD, afterwards boot up to make recover thru the backup i did of my HDD. (I'm aware of the problems going from HDD to SSD) I assume i have to install a OS system before recovering the backup from the HDD?? 2) I'm a big music fan and have a large library which is located on a external harddrive - where the library is set to be on the external harddrive / all tho i can still open it without the external harddrive plugged in. So my question for this, is: Can i have do the time machine backup of my HDD - recover it on the SSD with the itunes perfectly be in match? I don't think the external would be a new location and the paths should be fine too i think. But am i overseeing something ? better yet if anybody could confirm they have done it this way and got it to work would make me happy!
