SSD needs 4k-advanced format update when isntalling fresh windows7?
I got this old windows 7 x64 installation DVD from 2009 I believe. It is installed on my sata hdd. Over the years my system got the "4k-advanced format" software update for devices who use 4k-sectors - I'm guessing SSD's also use 4k-advanced format sectors?
Now I'm worried if I buy a Samsung SSD and use my DVD to install Windows 7 x64 this might go wrong. Because the installation-dvd does not have the 4k-advanced update yet - Might I be worried about nothing or does this need a workaround?
NI. I do not like to download ISO's form the internet with SP1 pre-installed or slipstreamed. My Windows is genuine and derived from Microsoft when I got a MSDN account needed for work. Most importantly I got special hw. installed which clashes with SP1. So I rather have a fresh installation on a new SSD exactly the way I got it installed on my HDD now. But I'm worried cloning from HDD -> SSD might provide performance issues.
