I got a new SSD in the mail. Should be here sometime next week. I've never used an SSD before and I want to know what I should do.
Here is what I want to do....
Objective:
Run a SSD for my OS and Applications while using a second 1TB drive as my documents drive. Maybe even have a third drive for backup. Haven't decided yet.
Steps:
1. I'm going to backup all my stuff to an external drive.
2. Format the mechanical.
3. Disconnect the mechanical.
4. Hook up the SSD.
5. Install Win7 onto the SSD.
6. Update and install all apps.
7. Hook up mechanical drive and restore my documents from the external.
If you guys see any mistakes let me know. Also once the SSD is installed I know I shouldn't defrag it. However what else should/shouldn't do?
