[QUOTE="Shootist, post: 1374613, member: 232297"] Like I suggested. Buy an adapter or an enclosure, that is up to you. Then use one of the cloning programs I posted to Clone the original internal to the SSD drive and then to check Boot the computer from the SSD connected by USB to make sure it works. Then install the SSD in the computer. If you buy a Enclosure make sure it is for 2.5, notebook size, drives and not 3.5 desktop size drives. Although you could install a notebook size drive in the bigger enclosure for the purpose you are using it for. The one thing you can do with the correct size enclosure is after you do the transfer and install you could install your original in that enclosure and use it as an external drive. You can do the same with an adapter also but it would not be a One Piece Unit. [/QUOTE]
