Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to the forum, but I've had my Asus G46VW for about a year now. Lately, I been itching to get this baby to speed up a bit, and I figured that an SSD would do the trick. I've got a 750 GB HDD that seems to really be struggling at times when it comes to booting up or loading apps. I'm just not patient enough to sit around and wait for the HDD to catch up. I've got some questions that I'd love to get answered!
- What SSD would you recommend for an Asus G46VW?
- What other hurdles would come with upgrading from and HDD to SSD? I know that there is a lot of disassemly, but how would I get Microsoft 8.1 onto the SSD? What about the BIOS? Etc...
(I think) I read somewhere that said that you have to download the OS and put it on a USB and boot it up from there, but even then I'm not exactly sure how that works. As far as BIOS goes, I'll definitely needs detailed steps on how to get everything up and running correctly.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Edit: Thought I'd go ahead and ask this in the same thread, but I'm also looking to upgrade my RAM to 16 GB if possible as well as upgrade to an i7 processor. What kind of RAM and i7 processor do you guys have? Thanks again
