Hi,

There are few steps, pleae try

1. Clone: You can clone ixisting HDD to SSD using free software such as

2. Swap: Swap HDD and SSD. SSD is physically smaller you need something similar to:

thank you  !

i  think  to  use the  data migration sofware  of  samsung   

i would   to ask you  if is  necessary to  install  the  SSD  disk   with the    typical procedure  :  run  the 

diskmgmt.msc  open the  disk manger......?
