looks like you've got more than ample confident and experienced advice from many of the experts here

and yes as they do correctly say - well most of them - its as easy as just physically swapping the old one out and putting in the ssd

unless you have 2 bays on your laptop then its just a matter of putting in the new ssd

but in anycase you would like to also think of cloning your hdd partition to the new ssd so that you don't have to reinstall the os and drivers and applications all over again

but then again for that - for me at least - the non IT savvy person, you would have to read the manual for that cloning software carefully or at least understand the steps to do - its not as simple as click click next done

but I think by now you would already accumulated enough confidence with all the advises you have got from all these confident experts here

for me, just sharing that the simplest way for me was to reinstall the os and drivers from scratch and then later copy back the documents and data and stuff to the new ssd.

yes it was a pain to reinstall everything but then again maybe you like  me - think that it is time for some good housekeeping and hence good to start from scratch and fresh

If u buy good brand like samsung, they include those software to do cloning n managing the disk

I must say its super easy with samsung migration tool
( been using those 3rd party cloning software like acronis, paragon, partition magic before )
So far.. im suprised how simple it is.

Use lazada. Price is 4++ iirc..
Then u create new account.. can use Rm80 code.. hence the rm361.

Warranty on box is 5 year.. and samsung detect it as genuine and still sealed box

RM80 code applicable to all seller?

How long do you receive the goods after place order?
