Q about installing ssd into old Laptop

iggy · 2013-11-12 22:44:03

I have an old HP 6510b laptop. I bought a 120gb Kingston ssd. Im going to try install it to replace my hdd. I know i wont get full advantage of it but it should be better than what i have now. Do i need to change BIOS or leave it? This is a pic from my device manager now with my hdd stil in.

Nothing needs changing, pop in the SSD - reinstall your OS and work away. You will see a massive improvement on any traditional laptop.
