I would like to do a replace a mechanical hard drive with an SSD drive in my Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition. The laptop has mSATA 32 installed as well as Intel Rapid and Smart Technologies. I am planning on a clean windows 8.1 installation and I am wondering if anyone can provide a step by step guide on the process or perhaps post a link to other people's experience. My biggest concert is in which order to install the drives and how to avoid any issues with Intel Rapid Start and Smart technologies. Also, If I have an SSD drive, will my current mSATA 32 dirve be working as well or not?
I would really appreciate your help,
Yuri
