- Configure in BIOS and initialize in the OS: boot the system, enter BIOS/UEFI to verify the drive is detected, then boot into your operating system to format and initialize the drive. Enable TRIM if it isn’t already enabled, and set the drive as the primary boot device if you’re using it for the OS.
- Clone or install: if migrating from an existing drive, use a trusted cloning tool to copy your OS and data to the new SSD, or perform a fresh OS installation for optimal clean performance. After setup, verify that the new SSD is functioning correctly and that the expected speed improvements are realized.
