ignatzatsonic, If my original HDDs are SATA I assume I'm probably okay to leave bios settings where they are?
As well, the Crucial drive is rated sata III, I probably have sata or sata II but I assume the drive is backwards compatible?
Thanks

Was thinking a clean install might be best!

Well, I'm showing a OEM Win7 disk for the gateway, but it's been a while!
Thanks

Yes I DO have the product key, but have had trouble in the past with preloaded OEM's software!
Clean install if you want but you could use Macrium reflect to image all your partitions to say a Samsung* 250GB SSD. If you have a spare sata port install an extra 1TB WD/Blue, Black for data.
* Unfortunately my after sales experience with Samsung hasn't been great.
