Hello everyone, just bought a y580 recently with window 8 pro installed. now i would like to change my hdd to odd place and buy one crucial m4 128g ssd to place into hdd place. how to install the win 8 system into the ssd ? i only know i need to buy 1 ssd + caddy but no clue how to start the work.

I bought from lowyatmate for rm2500 for a 2months old y580 which had already upgraded to win 8 pro and with ram 12g. think i get the cheapest 2nd hand. LOL

Anyone can teach me to install current window 8(upgrade from win 7 hp by lowyatmate then only pass to me) to a new buy ssd ??

Yesterday i just tried to use. and the experience is unbelievable. sound visual all very nice.

yesterday i was like :"what ?! laptop sound can perform that well?!" too many bad and normal laptop speaker, so this y580 speaker just stunt me.hehe

the cons is the weight. quite heavy actually. other than that it is powerful.

Can I bring my laptop together with newly bought ssd and caddy to the lenovo service centre and ask them help transfer my current windows 8 from the hdd to sdd ? then my hdd will replace odd place, ssd insert into hdd place. hdd will act like storage drive after that. I really dont have idea on how to do it on my own.

think have to phone to ask them. Thanks for answering. u upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8 ? my laptop is upgraded from window 7 hp to window 8. when i receive it it is already in window 8 pro( bought 2nd hand) and how i know it is still "fresh" and clean or how to perform a clean install again for this upgraded windows 8 from windows 7 hp?

From what i had googled. Follow this will be considered as clean install ?

i never heard before windows xp windows 7 windows vista need to "clean install"

Only windows 8 start to become "dirty" and need "clean install".

It is way too technical term to me.

Anyway thanks for the info. will google to learn.

Hi anyone know how to use Paragon Migrate OS to SSD ? i have a crucial m4 ssd on hand. if i plug out hdd from its original place and place into optical drive place(ODD is useless to me). then insert ssd to hdd place. can windows boot from hdd plugged into optical drive place ?

If can, then i will format the ssd into ntfs format through OS from hdd. and use paragon migrate os to ssd to transfer the os. After that, off windows. and change bios boot sequence to ssd. after entering ssd os, reformat the hdd to be used as storage only.

Are these steps correct ?

anyone can help ?

okok.. Thanks for the info anyway.

oh ya. will give it a try !

It seem true. guess buying external adapter is the only way to solve this problem. Why such a good laptop and they decide to ruin it using a lousy wifi card.

strange. never face this problem. was once boot slow after update. but never like your case.

Yesterday i tested my y580 with street fighter 4 arcade edition with all high settings. really awesome!! i know this game is not a benchmark game. but i like fighting game very much. it is happy to see it can run so smooth ! awesome!

From where ? From my own y580
