I don't really know why people bother with the page file stuff on SSDs. | |

I always put the pagefile on a mech drive because it saves read/writes on the ssd. With at least 4gb memory you can even disable the pagefile without problems. People have done tests with the page file on an ssd vs a hdd, and there's nigh-on no difference at all, so saving writes on an ssd is worth it to me! | |

Download it if you've got the serial key still... if not I'm sure there's a tool available so you can extract it from the registry. | |

area that is set aside on the hdd to load things in, bit like memory, but as its allocated on the hdd its slow to access hence why if you have a fast ssd in youd want the page file on there so its quicker to access | |

why would you want to move the page file to the (slow) hdd? | |

Fit the ssd, unplug/remove the standard hard drive. Install Windows as normal. Once installed, (google search any of the following for a how-to..) Disable hibernation, disable disk defrag and search indexing. Now you can turn off and fit your standard hard drive, it should still boot ok, but if not, go into bios and change the ssd to the 1st boot drive. | |
