    Replace HD with SSD and upgrade memory


    I am planning to upgrade my HP Envy x360 laptop by installing an SSD and 16 GB RAM. I already made a WindowsImage Backup and installed it in portable drive to recover the Windows 10 OS, programs and files from the hard drive to be replaced. What are the steps I need to follow to have a successful installation?

    :)

    replace HD with SSD.

    I want to replace my current HD with SSD in SFFOptiplex 740 running Windows 7 Pro.

    If I mirror the HD does my windows key go with it to the SSD.

    And can I just simply exchange the drives?

    BSOD's on Win10 after replacing HD with SSD

    Happy New Year and thanks for helping me !

    I started with suggestion #2, ran the thing for a few hours (don't know how long it takes to complete), but got 10.000+ memory errors scattered throughout the whole 16G :-( This must have been since I replaceded my HD for a SSD, do you know how this can
    be related ? I should replace the 2 memory board I guess ?

    Haven't done any overclocking by the way.

    Upgraded Windows Transfer from HDD to SSD

    Hi

    My windows was upgraded from 8 to 10 on my laptop few years back. I was trying to get the HDD replaced with SSD. During the copy process, the technician said windows cannot be moved to SSD as it is an upgraded version from 8 to 10.

    Kindly guide if there is a possibility to copy the windows to SSD ? If so, please suggest the steps.
