Want A Faster More Efficient And Quality Experience On The Internet > SSD's

SSD's And How They Can Help You Work And Enjoy Yoour Time Online, In 1/2 The Time You Spend Online!!!

I wanted to add another post as well as far as our PC's and connections at home!

Being retired....and an ex-Tech in the telecomunications industry as well as a Techincal Director & Show coordinator in the Audio Visual Corporate Industry; A few things here for people that will make your internet & data processing a much less headache if you havent converted your PC to a SDD Drive. HIGHLY RECOMEND: 
A Samsung EVO 860 https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-500GB-Internal-MZ-76E500B-AM/dp/B07864WMK8?th=1 The link will take you right there to a 60.00 device that is easily installed in your PC, swap the original drive with the EVO ...VERY EASY
Just power down, take the HDD out per your manfr instructions on how to remove, replace with new EVO 860 250GB, using original bracket from existing HDD, attach to new EVO 860 per their instructions! (Also: Samsung has excellent tech support Free to help you as you install) NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! Continuing on, look up online how to instal your aquired storage converter laptop tray for existing HDD to use as storage! Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQuJrswnJ5g 
Product 10.00 or thereabouts from Amazon! Depending on your laptop or hardware just do a search for one here, you'll get the idea at this link! Hint: Get the correct one! https://www.amazon.com/s?k=HDD+Caddy+for+laptop&i=electronics&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 

Once you have all hardware installed, Run WINDOWS Setup for version your running, recomend Windows 10 you can download the setup from here, and use you current license to reload windows on your new disk! 
Reason for all this? Your computer can be configured through windows software to use your NEW EVO 860SDD ultra fast drive to start up your PC only!!! And then; use your existing HDD the one you just installed in the tray as storage! 
I am a strong believer in this setup and securing your existing drive as storage, this configuration, will start up your PC and programs in 30 seconds!!! On most pc's running at least a quadcore processor, you will be amazed, and use half the time that you normally do on your pc for play or work! Keep in mind, its like setting up a new PC, but without the cost and 1/2 the time involved. (Remember to dowload windows 10 on a flash drive that is at least a 16Gig capacity prior to installing hardware) Link:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 

I recently did this, and normally it takes all day to reset everything and get your storage redirected to the proper saving locations as well as your download locations in your browser settings as well as get windows up and ging with no hassels!

Well..... It took me 30 minutes for the hardware, about 1 hour to get Windows 10 downloaded and reconfigured with the proper sav locations after the windows detected the drives in their new instaled locations, and about another 50-60 minutes to reload word/excell/and outlook, in adition to photoshop and illustrator and redirect their saving locations to old original drive in the new tray installed! Restart....Do updates...DONE about 2.5 hrs and not an all day thing, and both computers are like brand new!! And ultra fast!

If you think your puter is slow??? Do the switch!!! You wont regret it!

(DO NOT FORMAT YOUR OLD DRIVE-USE IT AS A STORAGE DRIVE in the same PC; if a laptop: Use a tray that replaces your CD/DVD drive in your laptop, MAC Versions available as well!) (I mean seriously...who uses their CD Drive anymore anyway?? If yoou do you can get a small travel disk to carry in your laptop bag!) View the video....
