    My new Z1190X is due to arrive tomorrow and I would like to know what recommendations the community has for configuring things like the SSD, etc. I have tried to follow many of the other threads but I don't think I have a very good understanding of the basic recommendations from all of these various threads.

    I don't consider myself very computer literate - but I am trying to improve. I have my own small business, so I don't have an IT department that I can ask questions. So I apologize in advance for my computer naivety. I promise I'll try to get better and learn more.

    My Z is coming with the i5, 4 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, no Blu-ray, 1600x900 display. I chose Windows 7 Professional so I could go with the Fresh Start option.

    So please help a novice out and give me the basic, but most important, set-up recommendations that you have for me. And please if you link to another post or thread, please tell me what part(s) you consider the key one(s) for me. Thank you, in advance, for your time!
