Those drivers probably not for win 10. Download latest drivers from laptop website, safer that way. The most annoying problem will be win 10 cant access network due to driver problem.

Some laptop has disk cage that you can reuse for SSD. Else, you can use double tape, thick double tape, or velcro tape.

Keep the old drivers backup for now. It's still possible to track down most of the drivers from the component manufacturers website.



You might need to ask other forums or Reddit on how to get the drivers for your particular laptop. What's the model number anyway?

I don’t know. Some website say if not initialized cannot use la.  Bla bla.

If you install fresh, no need initialize. The installation will auto initialize it for you.

When you add any disk to an existing windows, need to initialize first time only.

Can only find bios drivers. https://support.dynabook.com/support/driver...Text=1200014314. No official support for Windows 10 for this laptop.
You have to use something like DriverView to list out all the driver details. Or HWiNFO. You're going to have to take a leap of faith and hope everything works in Windows 10. Else you really have to hunt the drivers one by one.
