    Hi there guys. I want to install SSD in my Asus G750JS. What steps I need to follow.? How should I migrate my OS to SSD? Can I use my recovery USB to install factory image to SSD? And how should I know which HD has my OS? I have 2 HDs. I want to replace HD that has OS. Thanks.

    Not sure if its the best way to carry out the migration but I completed the same process not long ago.

    I removed both HDD's and installed the SSD and installed the OS from a USB.

    I also upgraded the secondary HDD so it was blank but you could install the current HDD as a storage drive.

    Before the installation remember to format the SSD to ensure its seen by the computer.

    Hope this helps.

    Ok downloaded Image of windows 8.1 from Microsofts website. And burned it to dvd. Do I need the key? Or it will auto activate? Is there any specific order to install drivers? Which one should I install first?

    OK I installed ssd successfully. Removed both my HDs. Put my ssd in and used Asus backtracker. Now I have Asus G750JS factory image on my ssd. And then I put my secondary HD in.

    Just use it really, unless you are running out of space it should run well.
