Thank you ! Just bought the same machine, and I'm going to change CPU, HDD and add more memory.

Then don’t miss out on my NVMe video for the 7010 also! That will give you a great performance boost.

@Harfinou 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, I already had your site in my bookmarks ;) But I don't plan to add NVMe in that machine : HDD/SSD with a W10 Lite will do the job => HCPC.

Do you mean you can unplug the power cable and sata cable from DVD drive and temporarily use it for the new SSD for cloning system?

I'm wondering if you can keep the ssd and the hard drive and removing the DVD player and if is a good idea and why not

I've followed the steps, swapped hard drives and now it keeps coming to the Intel boot agent over and over. What has gone wrong? I did everything successfully

I know this is five minutes late but did you make sure your windows installation is formatted properly?

@@KenJGRAVES it should have been but I gave up on my optiplex and ended up building a custom mid tower instead

How would i go about doing this without cloning, my hard drive isnt working properly.

@PaulieM 10 ай бұрын

You would have to fresh install on to a new SSD, and then see if you can salvage any of the data from your existing hard drive afterwards. Do you know how to fresh install? Do you have another computer you can use to make a Windows boot USB?

@nicolecooper6896 10 ай бұрын

I do have another computer. I put the Windows 10 download fileonto a USB drive. But not sure what to do after that.

@nicolecooper6896 10 ай бұрын

I just ordered this ssd and the bracket. I'm not worried about saving any files from the old hard drive. I had already backed up any files I wanted to save.

@PaulieM 10 ай бұрын

@@nicolecooper6896 you might also consider upgrading to an nvme ssd according to my other guide. Much faster than a regular ssd

@PaulieM I'll look into that too! Thank you!
