Without making a new thread, I was looking to put a 128gb ssd into my laptop. But how does it work for re-installing windows? I don't have a disk as it came preinstalled.

Regardless of whether or not I upgrade to SSD I would still like to do a fresh install.

Well than you're going to have to buy a Windows OS DVD

You may also need to do some searching online for any drivers that you're going to need if you don't already have them before you re-install your OS .

Nonsense, just download an iso and burn one for yourself.
