Setup and manage SSD discussion thread

That's odd, mine told me I could only add empty folder's. Would try it again, but I already deleted 54 GB's of games.

Yeah you can do it, you may have needed to go one more "level" in to the folders to get to the one that it wanted. Shrug.

Okay so I normally always recommend a fresh load when switching to an SSD. But I'm curious, are there any lost benefits if you do a fresh install then make a backup image of the fresh install? I'm getting tired of reloading my Latitude when I somehow screw it up, and I want to just make a backup image. Maybe if I did a sector-by-sector image?

EDIT: Nevermind. Acronis supports SSD's and automatically detects and configures the image.

Does everything in that thread pertain to windows 8.1 x64?

Been thinking about my first ssd purchase. Would love to know how to set it up properly and maintain it.

The steps to properly do it with Windows 7 pertain to Windows 8 as well.
