Hi all,
So i just got myself a new lenovo laptop (G505s) and an SSD (PNY Optima). I would like to install windows and my programs onto this drive, once it is installed. However, when i started up the laptop (with the factory hdd), i could not find a "create recovery disc" software anywhere (came with "Lenovo Onekey" - only restores, through windows, a PC image from the hdd). I was wondering if any of you knew how to install windows (8) onto the ssd without using a cloning software (i do know its better to use a clean install). The laptop has a dvd drive, and i have several blank dvds. I also have several large flash drives if necessary.
I do also have access to a desktop if i need to plug either the hdd or the ssd into a computer for manipulation, etx.
Thanks all
