[QUOTE="nikhilpal, post: 2427299, member: 100652"] No, if you just replace HDD with SSD it will appear as new disk in the system without OS and need to reinstall OS. If you re-insert the HDD using caddy it will boot from that HDD and show the SSD as a new partition. And then you can use some tool to copy OS and EFI partition from HDD to SSD which will move all apps to SSD. Remember to change boot order in BIOS settings after moving OS to SSD. I would recommend a clean install of the OS if you don't have any important apps installed. [/QUOTE]
