  • Once the OS is installed or cloned, boot into the operating system and format the new drive if required, creating partitions as needed for optimal performance and storage organization.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: Will this MS 128 GB SSD work with my notebook?

    A: This internal SSD is designed for notebook devices and is compatible with systems that support standard SSD form factors and interfaces. Check your device’s documentation or user manual to confirm the drive’s interface (for example SATA or PCIe/M.2) and physical fit before purchase. If your notebook uses a standard 2.5-inch bay or a compatible M.2/SSD slot, you can typically upgrade to a 128 GB SSD for improved performance.

  • Q: How much storage does this drive provide for OS and apps?

    A: The drive provides 128 GB of total storage capacity, which is suitable for a clean operating system installation plus essential applications and data. For users who keep many large files or applications, this capacity is best complemented by additional external storage or a larger internal drive in future upgrades.

  • Q: What advantages does an internal SSD offer over a traditional hard drive?

    A: An internal SSD delivers faster data access, shorter boot times, quicker application launches, and lower power consumption due to its solid-state design with no moving parts. It also generates less heat and operates more quietly, contributing to a better overall user experience in mobile computing environments.

  • Q: Do I need to reinstall Windows after installing this SSD?

    A: If you are performing a fresh install, you will reinstall Windows on the new drive. If you are migrating from an existing drive, you can clone the old drive to the new SSD to preserve your OS, applications, and settings. Always back up data before performing changes to storage drives.

  • Q: Is there any warranty on this Microsoft internal SSD?

    A: Warranty terms vary by seller and region. Check the retailer’s product page or accompanying documentation for the exact warranty period and coverage details. It’s common for storage devices to include a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and reliability concerns within the specified timeframe.
