parts for this thread: (WD 350gb (windows x), ADATA su800 ultimate 128gb ssd (in RMA)

I had to send my SSD a few weeks ago to adata due to information technology breaking, this meant I had to install my OS on my difficult bulldoze and be tortured by the speed of hard drive running windows. I was wondering when I become my SSD dorsum tomorrow, volition I have to install it first and format it before I reset my windows?

Basically you will take to format the SSD and install a fresh windows in information technology, then you can move the required files from HDD to SSD.

You can also clone the HDD to SSD if required after formatting the SSD.

Good Luck.:) Peace.

Depends on what you mean past reset,normally you would install windows on it which would division the bulldoze like yous did with the HDD.

Really yous do not take to format your SSD in social club to fresh-install the Win x OS onto the SSD. As a matter of fact you do not have to even initialize nor partition the drive in order to install the Os. You tin can take your "virgin" SSD (or HDD) right out of the box and install the OS onto the drive.

Now if y'all want to initialize/partition/format the drive before installing the OS, of course you lot're costless to do so. Some users are more comfy in doing then especially when they're planning to initially multi-partition their boot drive (rather than accomplish that during the Bone installation procedure). But it'due south unnecessary to exercise so.

But information technology's unnecessary to do so.

I agree with yous that by default the SSD volition exist in NTFS format and we can install it directly out of the box.. Only to exist on a safer side, its better to do then. If you need a partition.

Peace.

I honestly do not run across a need to do so. I've probably installed (or helped users install) a few hundred Win ten OSs on both SSDs & HDDs on "virgin" drives without any problem any. And many of the drives were multi-partitioned during the installation process.

I honestly do not encounter whatever "safety factor" involved in this process. Of course the Bone installation procedure does get awry for many, many reasons during that process; we've all experienced that state of affairs. But I tin't see why pre-initializing, partitioning/formatting the intended installation bulldoze results in some "condom" factor. The setup process tin can ever be terminated during the installation and the user can ever "beginning over" as information technology were post-obit an aborted installation process.

As I've indicated, if a user desires to partition/format his/her drive prior to the installation of the OS they're certainly costless to do so. But I still maintain it's unnecessary to do and then.

Fifty-fifty I have installed several windows Os onto PC's. I know that the installation process itself formats the bulldoze. Just in that location is no harm in formatting the SSD before installing the Windows OS. Basically we format the SSD, partition the bulldoze and install the OS. information technology depends on person to person, and there is no harm in doing and then.

Peace.
