There are three cases of laptop SSD installation:

1. Directly take out the original 2.5′ HDD. Buy a new 2.5′ SSD to install it into the HDD place.

2. For the laptop with the CD drive, change the CD drive into HDD place. Remove the CD drive and install SSD. The advantage of this method is that the user can not only remain HDD but also install SSD. In this way, the laptop will have dual drives. Then install the system to the SSD.

3. For the new laptop with the M.2 port, we can buy the M.2 SSD, and then disassemble the laptop to install the M.2 SSD to achieve dual hard drives.
