No need. It is a pure SATA (AHCI) system so you could not change it to IDE if you wished. Just install the SSD as if it were a hard drive. Windows 7 and higher handles TRIM and NCQ and everything else needed to optimize an SSD. You will find a lot of advice out there which was good for Vista and earlier but no longer needed. SSDs are mainstream now. 

 

Post back with any more questions but please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Yes a 2.5 inch SATA SSD will install in place of the hard drive; something like a WD Blue 2.5 inch SATA-3 SSD or Samsung Evo 850.

 

There is no BIOS advanced mode. What you see is what you get and I understand it is not much. Consumer laptop BIOS are intentionally pretty sparse. What would you like to do in the BIOS that you cannot do now?
