Let's take a quick look at a step-by-step guide detailing how to turn an SSD into a boot drive for your new or existing computer.

My old pc had a SSD which I would like to be the boot drive in a new machine. However, the new machine cannot boot with it. Here is what the new machine has. Can anyone help me with this?

How do I install Windows on a SSD instead of HDD? To set up Windows on an SSD instead of HDD, connect the SSD and a bootable USB drive with the Windows installation files.

What? A boot ssd will still be faster. Unless you really have some strange program that will only install on a boot drive and needs the space. Anyways Win7 has been happy with my 96GB drive.
