    Just purchased am Inspiron 15 3531 and the first thing I want to do is change the HDD to a Samsung Evo 840 250GB SSD.

    Is there an idiots guide to installing the SSD on this machine and either cloning or resinstalling the OS onto the new drive.

    BTW, it ships with Windows 8.1 (I believe its the new "Bing version")
