2016-07-14
hi guys so my friend has this Odell laptop here and I just upgraded to Windows 10 and it works fine too slow for example it take more than two minutes to Buddha that's crazy also application take quite some time to launch and browsing around the machine can take a bit of time too basically it's not my star of computing there's a simple way to actually improve this machine here's performance a huge deal replace it hard drive with a solely state drive or SSD now the machine here has a 500 gigabyte hard drive but I will need an SSD of the same capacity just one that has more space than the amount of space currently occupied by data on the hard drive in this case is about 40 gigabyte so this 240 gigabyte SSD going to be more than enough this one is also a budget drive so it's not too expensive either costing some 60 dollars but still is more than fast enough of course if you need more space you can also get a larger SSD or even faster one so if you can afford it now for the job here you can also need a USB to SATA adapter this one here costs you about $15 and it's a $15 well spent because this kind of adapter will come in very handy you also need a small screwdriver here to open up the laptop later and finally it will need a cloning software now my favorite is the free version of Mac reham reflec that can get from dot-com now the entire process can be described in one cent you clone the existing hard drives content onto the SSD then physically replace the hard drive with the SSD and that's it after that you must be exactly the same except is much faster now on to the detailed steps first you download and install Mac um reflect then now connect the SSD to computer USB port then you run the reflec software and choose to clone the existing hard drive onto the USB connected drive net just follow the rest of the wizard and then sit back and relax or not and wait for the process to and then finally turn up the computer and then swap out the to drive here we go look how good I am with a tiny screwdriver and that's it now you can put the O hard drive away as a backup or you can use it with the adapter here as an external hard drive but the most important thing is you will notice that your computer now is going to be a lot faster for example this particular one here now take less than 30 second to boot you can also expect the laptops battery life to be a bit longer - and by the way you can also do the same thing with your desktop and then after that you can have your friends out by forwarding them this video they will love it you'll make that day and that's because I'm don't walk
