Step 1: Preparing your workspace
You’ll need to prep your workspace to install your new Kingston 2.5” SSD safely and properly. It’s recommended that you clear your workspace of anything that can build up static electricity since it can damage your new 2.5” SSD.
- 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 to the ones shown, but the process should be the same. Read each step carefully. If you have difficulty identifying your computer components, refer to your computer’s owner’s manual.
