Replacing my hdd... some questions.
So i have a Sony Vaio laptop with a 320 gigabyte hdd. I want to replace it with maybe a new 1 terabyte hdd but i have some concerns.
Lets assume i have all my data backed up on an external hard drive, would it be ok for me to just pop off the current hard drive, put the new one in, and then just switch it on and install Windows 7 fresh? Will the laptop detect the new hdd straight away? Would i need to install any particular drivers? Or are there any other important steps im missing?
Some important specs:
Sony Vaio FW21E running Ultimate 64 bit
320 GB Serial ATA-150 5400 rpm HDD
