How to Replace C Drive with a New SSD
Got an SSD for Christmas. I want to install it but I was curious about what I need to do since I'm fully replacing the older SSD that came with my PC. I understand how to install it but do I need to backup my entire drive or do I transfer it? Please give me an understandable response here so thank you very much.

HDD and SSD can both be used as storage devices on computers, but SSD performs better than HDD in many aspects, such as faster data access speed, lower power consumption, etc. So, it's wise to replace the C drive with a new SSD.
