Unfortunately we had to take download section back offline temporarily. We should have it working normally soon.

How do I properly install WIndows 7 and Hyperspin on to a new SSD?

If I do a clean install on the SSD w/ Windows 7, would I only need to copy over the Hyperspin folder with all of its contents? Would there be anything else I would need to config besides the bios?

 

Is this the correct order in which I need to prep the new SSD?

 

1. Format SSD to NTFS

2. Install Windows 7

3. Install Bios

4. Transfer Hyperspin folder to SSD (c drive)

 

 

Did I leave anything out?

Just my recommendation... Don't install hyperspin on your OS drive. What if the operating system crashes, you need to start from scratch... How are you accessing that drive? Yes you can remove it plug it into a working computer... But why go through that hassle? You can also do another partition but make an investment, do it right, do it once. 64gig ssd for windows 7. At least 128gig but more like 256gig ssd for hyperspin. Now hyperspin is super fast plenty of room for all your media and store your roms on separate spinning drives.
