    Hello,

    I currently have a 750GB 7200PRM SSHD installed in my y510p , and I want to move everything to a the new 2TB 5400RPM HDD and 128GB NGFF SSD, any idea about how to do it? Do I need to re-install the entire system, or can I just migrate all the data without having to re-install everything?

    I am assuming you want the OS to be on the NGFF 128gig SSD, correct? If that is the case, get a copy of Acronis True Image with Win8 compatability (older cloning software won't work) or similar software from Norton and have an external DVD drive. Next, drop your entire C: drive size to below 120gig. Load up the cloning software and simply clone from drive to drive. Then you can replace the old OS drive with the 2TB HDD and in the UEFI set the boot drive as the 120gig SSD. That ought to work...
