How do I downgrade from SSD to mechanical HDD
Unusual request perhaps, but I'm getting an ex-corporate HP 8470p Notebook PC with 256GB SSD installed.
I don't yet fully understand SSD technology - thankfully, there's a whole lot of reading in this forum I can do on the subject to remedy that.
In the interim, I would like to replace the SSD with a (higher capacity) good old fashioned mechanical HDD so I can get the 8470p up and running asap.
Is it just a matter of swapping out the SSD for a Sata HDD in the same drive bay and re-booting, or are there other configuration changes I will need to make as well?
Thanks.
