Reinstalling Win 7 on SSD
Hi Guys,
I'm about to do a reinstall of Win 7 Home Premium onto my SSD. Just need a bit of advice.
I'm aware I need to set BIOS to AHCI and have been alerted to the possible need to do an alignment on the SSD. The Forum has a tutorial about aligning SSD which states: "If you install Windows7 on a brand new SSD, you need not make any special arrangements because the Windows7 installer will do the alignment for you."
I'm OK with that, but it mentions a "BRAND NEW" SSD, not one that has had an installation previously. So I need your advice on whether or not I need to do an alignment in this case.
And ...... is there anything else I need to consider?
