QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Nov 2 2012, 11:27 PM) do you guys split your ssd into partitions? 1st time ssd user here An unnecessary step unless you want to allocate a small portion for Intel SRT. For some, making a single 256GB partition for OS may not be enough, especially if there are games.

QUOTE(Pegasus88 @ Nov 18 2012, 12:41 AM) So i have a question with SSD upgrade here. If i have a Lenovo G480 laptop with GENUINE WINDOW 7 LICENSE, how am i going to transfer the whole thing to new Crucial M4 with my genuine window ? It's only your license number that's important. It is usually a sticker below the laptop. You can use a pirated copy to install but as long as you have a legit license key, it still remains original. You may have to call Microsoft to reactivate since it is OEM version. The other way is to use a partition cloning software but I don't suggest doing so.

QUOTE(Pegasus88 @ Nov 18 2012, 10:28 AM) You mean clean install the window on new ssd rite ? i wish to do that too... What if i download the trial from Microsoft, install then key in OEM product key, can oem license do that ? Btw, why people are recommending M4 instead of intel 330, i tot their prices are similar and M4 has lower writing speed ?  You could do that but preferably if the version matches(Starter, Pro, Ultimate). You will need to call Microsoft to reactivate the legit key. Crucial has a good track record and Intel is well known for its reliability. There are no right or wrong choices here.
