Hey everyone,
I'm going to be upgrading my Dell Studio 1555 Laptops hard drive to a SSD SATA from Crucial and was wondering what steps I should take to properly back it up.
I don't have any of my original windows or installation CD's anymore. I originally bought the laptop in late 2009/almost 2010 and was actually surprised when I saw that Dell put a Toshiba that was made in 2006 in my laptop when I originally bought it. What did surprise me was that the Windows file in the C drive is 100GB....must be all those updates.
Anyways, what steps can I take to properly back it up? I've already transferred all my pictures, videos, documents and music to a external drive. The only programs I really have is Microsoft Word/excel/PowerPoint. This shouldn't be too complicated. I definitely don't want to bring any unwanted random files on my new hard drive.
Let me know your thoughts and opinions!
Best,
Tommy
