    Hi, I have literally just bought an ideapad 510 laptop that comes with just a 1tb 5400rpm hard drive, it's a Xmas present for myself lol
    I haven't opened it yet if cause but I have seen these ssd drives going pretty cheap at the moment Crucial MX300 525 GB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD and wondered 1. Will it fit in my laptop along side the current drive and 2. Is there an easy way of moving the OS straight over to the ssd. And 3. If answer to number 2 is no how would I be best going about setting the ssd as the main drive and installing my windows 10 in it and then formatting my current drive?

    Any help would be great as I haven't bought the ssd yet but am really tempted while it's cheap.
    Regards
    James
