Installing SSD on Dell Laptop
Hi. Wondering if anyone could advise.
I've inserted the Sandisk SSD in my Dell 5779 laptop however not clear on what I need to do to make Windows to boot from the SSD rather than the slower HDD. There was unclear advice online for this particular laptop. If anyone has any tips, please feel free to share. Thanks!

Before you do it, allow me to suggest you partition your drive into C: (125gb for WIndows) and D: (the rest for data). That way, if you ever reinstall Windows, as is necessary from time to time, you don't wipe your data. You can also backup both more easily.
I suggest if you didn't then do it and you should find the lappy will boot with no problem.
No I haven't really done anything apart from inserting the ssd in the laptop. What would be the best way to clone it?
In this case there is only one hdd. The other is ssd. Each have their own separate space where to be inserted.
Like I mentioned in the description, I have inserted the ssd in the laptop's ssd slot. The hdd has its own slot and was already installed in the laptop. The question was how to now boot Windows from the ssd.
Yep. It is this version but without pre-installed ssd and only 8GB ram:
