I have been rummaging through the forums looking for previous posts matching what I'm about to try, however the ones I have found are older, and I don't want to assume they are uptodate with the latest software/update info.
My 80gig SSD 320 series has been on Windows 7, and running perfectly for a year now, but it has come time to upgrade to a 120gig, as I'm running low on room (dont get me started on the WinSxS folder). I am going to reinstall the 80 gig in my laptop, which has a Vista license.
I am not all that familiar with SSD's, but have built many computers. I plan on using the Migration Utility to the new drive, and expect no issues. My question(s) revolve more around the best way to approach going from Windows 7, to Vista.
1. What would be the best way to format/wipe the drive?
2. I understand there is no built in trim feature for Vista, so do I install the OS, then run the trim feature or ?
3. Any pitfalls or gotcha's I should be careful of?
Thanks!
