X230t SSD Windows Install question....

I picked up a Samsung 830 SSD for my X230t. When I had the SATA drive installed in the system, I installed a fresh copy of Windows using a "universal" Windows DVD that contained all the versions of Windows, followed by using an application called ABR backup and restore to complete the activation process. I assume this will work using the new SSD and following the same steps? Or would I need to use my backup DVD's I made when I got the system?

Thanks,

Rob

 

Yeah that would work fine, I performed many Windows 7 clean installs on various computers using the same procedure including my ThinkPad T420 with the Samsung 830 SSD and I yet to encounter any major problems myself. :thumbsup:

 

Great..thanks very much for the quick reply.

 

Check out Hearst's clean install guide, it's worth a look and tailored to thinkpads: http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo/642274-hearsts-guide-clean-installing-windows-7-thinkpad.html.

 

Indeed that is the guide I followed to do the clean install. For some reason I wasn't completely sure if it would work for the new SSD and I wanted to make sure.....Just my paranoia acting up again.

Thank you for the guide, a much appreciated resource on the forums.
