Let's take a quick look at a step-by-step guide detailing how to turn an SSD into a boot drive for your new or existing computer.

How do I install Windows on a SSD instead of HDD? To set up Windows on an SSD instead of HDD, connect the SSD and a bootable USB drive with the Windows installation files.

If you're upgrading from an HDD to an SSD, make the most of the extra speed it offers by setting the SSD as your boot drive.

If your current PC is only using a mechanical hard-disk drive (HDD) and it's here that your Windows install lives, it's a great time to make the upgrade to a solid-state drive (SSD).
