| Now: Toshiba HDD 1000 GB |
| New: SanDisk SSD 960 GB |
| Correct: the new drive is 40 GB smaller than the current drive |
| Connect SSD to PC with SATA to USB interface; best: use external power supply |
| Initialize new disk in Disk Management using (default) GPT |
| CloneZilla does not support cloning to smaller drives |
| AOMEI Backupper provides this, offers even HDD to SSD option |
| Start Cloning HDD to SSD (preferred: reboot first, no other Apps open) |

| Getting ready to Replacing HDD to SSD |
|
| Unfortunately, this HP Pavilion does not have “service doors” for disk or memory replacement |
| The keyboard panel has to be lifted to access the disk compartment |
| For that quite a handful screws need to be removed from the bottom |
| You’ll need: |
| Philips screw driver for small heads |
| one-millimeter flathead screwdriver |
| a sturdy plastic card. |
| Turn off the Notebook and disconnect external power supply |
| Flip the Notebook upside down |
| Remove battery pack, sliding the two locks to the inside. |
| Remove screws,,, |
