How To: Install mSATA SSD Alienware 14

This is a brief how-to on installing an mSATA SSD as the main boot drive with a fresh Windows install in a new Alienware 14 laptop. I just give basic instructions on installing the drive, setting the boot order, and getting Windows installed. The original HDD is left in place as a storage drive.

This is my first how-to ever and I'm just winging the dialogue, so forgive me if it's not great (it's not). Hope it's helpful to someone out there who is looking to perform this upgrade.

Disclaimer: I'm hardly a computer expert. This is what I did and what worked for me. You shouldn't do this unless you are comfortable with the basics of installing components and setting up a fresh install of Windows. I don't go into detail about the actual installation of Windows or drivers.

Here is the SSD I used: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product...
