has many benefits over the older hard disk drives.

Like faster boot times plus it's really easy to do.

But before you begin, there are couple of things you need to know.

First, if you have the installed disk that came with your computer,

the set up will be a breeze.

Otherwise, you'll need to back up or clone your old drive.

And it's always a good idea to make sure that your system BIOS is up to date first.

So check your PC manufactures website before you begin.

Also static electricity can damage your PC.

So the best way in anti-static wrist strap to dissipate the static electricity.

But with out one clear your desk from any static conducing items.

And lastly in most cases a simple Phillipshead screw driver is all you'll

need to replace a hard drive in your desktop computer.

Start by shutting down your computer and removing all the cables from the back.

Sometimes it helps to snap a quick photo to help you remember where each cable

belongs when plugging them back in after we finished.

If you plan on adding the SSD drive and

instead of replacing your old drive, you need an open drive bay which should be

easily accessible inside your computer by removing one of the side panels.

You can usually distinguish the correct side panel by the large thumb screw, or

screws which are easy to remove by hand.

Otherwise, you'll need to consult your computer manufacturers website,

before you begin.

Now, slide off the side panel.

Some computers may open differently, but

once you get it open you'll have a good view of the drive base.

Find the old hard drive and you'll most likely find another drive bay nearby.

If you don't have a two-and-a-half-inch drive bay available,

you'll need to attach a bracket like this to the SSD drive to fit the larger

three-and-a-half-inch drive bay.

Slide the drive into place with the SATAN power connector facing outwards,

where you can access them and line up the holes to screw securely into place.

Now, locate an unused power cable inside the computer.

Any one will do,

just follow the group of cables coming from the power supply until you find one.

Next, you need an SATA cable to connect from the motherboard to the SSD.

Follow the SATA cables from your old hard drive and

you will find an available SATA connection on the motherboard.

Connect the other end to the SSD drive, and that's it.

Slide the slide panel back in, screw it into place, and plug in the cables.

With that done now turn your computer on and

insert the operating system installation CD.

When prompted boot from the CD ROM drive.

You can now install the operating system to the new SSD.

Just be sure that if you left your old hard drive in that

you don't reinstall over your old drive or you could lose all your data.

Make sure to do a custom install and select the drive that isn't partitioned or

marked as unallocated space and you're done.

With OS installed you might have to change the boot order from your old drive

to the new one.

Otherwise you can now copy over your files or restore from a backup.
