I am an idiot, yes I know this, dumb question that I asked on LTT once and completely forgot how to do it. I think they said something about partitioning it or some shit idk, can someone help me out on how to activate my new SSD so I can use it please, thanks
Is this SSD going to have your primary OS on it?
I’d like to switch my OS over to it yes, I made another topic in the appropriate category asking for help on that.
I also plan on downloading 1 game on there, star citizen.
I think I figured out how to do it but what does all this stuff mean (other than the obvious stuff) and should I change anything to something specific?
Okay, if you are going to switch your OS to it I would first make sure you grab your product key from your existing windows installation. Then get windows installation media on a USB. Plug the USB in and boot to your BIOS/UEFI and boot from USB. From there you will be able format and install a fresh copy of windows and activate it with your license key. Once windows is installed on your SSD you can go back into bios and boot from the SSD and from there you can do whatever you want with the other drive within windows.
That’s just how I would do it. You can also migrate windows to your SSD using a tool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuI2yFSAiN0&feature=youtu.be&t=2m6s
