Finally its time to install new SSD to my old laptop.
Will be using USB boot drive created using windows media creation tools to install new windows.
2012 toshiba laptop, satelite L850.

A few questions for dear techy ktards after ayam reading some guides on installation.

1. I understand i need to change the boot order to use USB first (or is there an option to boot from USB only once?), at what point do I pull out the USB stick to prevent PC keep going into first step of installation/booting from USB stick?

2. Do i need to initialise a new Samsung EVO 860 SSD? if yes how do i do it?

The more i read the more problems i scared might pop up...

Just realize the 2.5inch ssd is 7mm thickness and my old hdd is 9.5mm. Looks like might need spacer? My old hdd is not secured by screws, just the cover to hold it in place, 2 mm thinner might make new ssd wobbly inside?

Everyone say ssd is a lot faster then hdd, don’t think need turbo mode? Lol
Did you have problem with different thickness?
