Should i be downloading drivers on ssd or hdd

Just reconnect the hard drive later. Your files will be available, but any programs that used the registry will not. If reinstallation of apps is an issue, consider buying a Samsung ssd which comes with a clonix app that will do a selective migration. Drivers get installed on the drive with windows; you have no choice about that.

We have option as to where to install drivers, I downloaded drivers on my Samsung SSD and they are visible in downloads folder! Afterwards I connected the HDD! My build is just completed and any suggestions or precautions or tips will be highly appreciated! No I just downloaded internet, intel chipset, graphics card, audio drivers etc.

Thanks for the help. Downloading is not sufficient, you need to install also. Magician is interesting. It can do some useful things such as firmware updates and enable rapid mode. I uninstalled magician, it seemed to control more than I liked. Yah obviously I installed them after downloading! Which firmware updates magician can do and what is rapid mode? How to monitor CPU temperature in Windows 8. Magician can detect your ssd firmware level and update it if necessary.

I would be careful doing that unless absolutely necessary. There is no guarantee that you will not get a destructive update. Protect what you value first. Rapid mode will use system ram as a cache to speed up ssd operations. Speedfan is a nice free app that puts a temperature in the taskbar. I have not converted to windows 8.

I dislike the interface. In testing, I used a free app called windows classic shell that worked ok to give a more windows 7 like appearance.

I am waiting for 10 to be out a while before I jump. You are awesome man thanks yah can we upgrade to Windows 10 without formating our SSD? Or we should do a clean install? What do u suggest.
