Does the kit include everything needed to install, and move data from my old dirve to the ssd?

The best way I can answer your question is to provide this link to Kingston. I did not have any problems with install or moving the data to the new drive.Here is the link:http://www.kingston.com/us/ssd/v?ktc_campaign=US_SSD&gclid;=CjgKEAjwkpacBRCNlprWw-u-nBwSJACwHiw-5vJeySawQH5VVAJ-KktgFa8qBmE-9nNEPP1oqsYekvD_BwEJust copy it and paste it in your address bar.

Yes. It comes with a 3.5" adapter tray, a suitable screw driver and the Acronis software. I did not personally use the CD, but my guess is you will connect the new drive to the computer (leaving the old one) and boot to the provided CD. From there, you will copy the data from the old drive to the new drive. Once done, you can either remove the old drive or leave it in as a back up. If you leave it in without reformatting, you might run into windows boot loader issues. I opted to just back up my important files and use the new drive install as an opportunity to reinstall the operating system and do everything cleanly from scratch. That way, you get the most benefit out of a new drive, and clean up any old devices, drivers, and programs you no longer need. The USB caddy is awesome too, I use it as a super fast way to transfer lots of files between computers. Depending on your home router, you may even be able to plug it in to and use it as network attached storage.

This kit works fine. The provided cable allows you to install a second drive in the "lower" bay underneath the original drive. If replacing the original drive the provided cable isn't needed.

Your motherboard should have come with SATA cables to connect the SSD to it. You should not need anything else.

Yes but will need to be formatted correctly. Research the install online and you should find what you need.

Yes all you have to do is replace your old harddrive with the new, turn your computer on and then put in the disk and do what it tell you.

Yes, it is a msata SSD and can be upgraded. You can Google it or go to YouTube and there are videos in how to do it.

Yes, I used it on another brand SSD. The CD that came as a part of the kit was all I needed, updates are available but I have not needed them when using the CD supplied.

It should work fine once your desktop uses SATA for its hard drives (only old ones don't). Note however that this particular package does not include free software to migrate your operating system and data from your current hard drive to the SSD. You'll have to install and use your own software to do this. I recommend Partition Wizard, available from www.partitionwizard.com

Here is what I had to do. Format the SSD, so it will be recognized as a drive with a new drive letter. Don' forget, cloning will bring over your present operating system as well, so upgrade it first, if you want a new one.Both Samsung and Seagate have included software. Be sure only to use USB 2.0. bE ADVISED IF YOU HAVE A FAIRLY NEW MB, CONTACT THE MB Co. which SATA CONNECTIONS (PORTS) TO USE. SOME ARE TOO SLOW.

No, this is SATA; IDE is defunct. You can use that old drive as a paper weight. Also get a Solid State Drive and enjoy about 10x improvement in hard drive speed. SSDs are worth every penny.

It has been a while since I used this, so I don't remember all of the details. I used it once to go from a smaller SSD to a larger SSD and it worked perfectly (both SSDs were Intel). Then I tried to go from a larger HDD to an SSD (even though there was adequate space), but it didn't work, and the help line told me that the kit was not designed to do that and would not work. So I got a copy of Ghost to do the task.

This drive came with the transfer kit, which includes the CD and SATA to USB transfer cable. This software only works with the cable that is provided.

Yes, as long as your not transferring more then 230gig to the new drive. As far as transferring all your info they make a bunch of cloning software. BUT! I highly recommend just reinstall everything from scratch and only transferring what you need from your old to new drive. It will make it run a lot smoother and cleaner.

im not sure. the way i figured it out was watching youtube videos. i know there is an easy way to tell which drive you need, but i can't remember. good luck. also i know that the is a piece of the old drive you will need to unsolder from the original and solder into the new unit.
