    Not likely. Remove expansion packs that you don't play, if it's even possible. Those are like 2.75GB each. Also have you modified your system SSD use like reducing page file size (or eliminating it), reducing or turning off system restore, turning off hibernation (you can still sleep your laptop)...

    Also I notice you have a 500GB HDD as well in your system, why not install the game on there. There's no real advantage to having it on the SSD.
