    Hi, i just received my m11x r3 today. but due to few scratches, I am going to get a replacement in a week. I am planning to use a crucial m4 256gb ssd on the m11x. what can i do for now? if i reinstall window on the new ssd and then pull it out. put it in the replacement m11x. would it work?

    if there are no changes to the parts (say vid card from nvidia to amd) then it should be fine,

    if there are changes you could always do a repair which is almost the same as a fresh install.
