When replacing a Hard Drive or a Solid-State Drive, which is the C:\ Operating System Drive, I have learned / experienced that I should:
1.) Power Down the PC.
2.) Remove the Power Cord.
3.) Press the Power On Button so the Green Light on the Mother Board goes out.
4.) Then remove / replace the Drive.
Is this the correct procedure?
If not, how should it be done?
