- Gather your supplies. You’ll need your computer, a screwdriver, and your new Kingston 2.5” SSD along with your computer owner’s manual.
- Back up your important files. Before beginning to install your 2.5” SSD, save your important files from your old computer storage to an external SSD, USB flash drive, or cloud storage.
- Take your time. You have everything you need to install your new 2.5” SSD. Your computer might look slightly different than the ones shown, but the process should be the same. Read each step carefully, and if you have difficulty identifying your computer components; refer to your computer owner’s manual.
