can i install m4 ssd in m17x and other questions

[garyfl]

Can I install my m4 ssd when I get my alienware m17x? Is it fairly easy and will it work out of the box, will I need any adapters or will i need to edit BIOS or anything, can i keep the 750 gb hdd with the dell image as a storage drive in the other slot or do i not need to as I hear it voids warrenty. Can i install windows home premium and use the key?

Ahh yeah I know to change bios, would you advise to only keep in the ssd when installing windows? Will the key work from the laptop? And how would you clone the hdd?

Also, are alienware bioses generally locked down?
