Installation Options
:
A. Cloning your existing system (Window operating systems only) onto your Verbatim SSD:
NTI Echo cloning software is included to facilitate the transfer of all operating system, settings, and user data from your existing HARD DRIVE
to your new Verbatim 2.5” SATA SSD. After installation, your HARD DRIVE can be used with the included 2.5” USB drive enclosure and USB
able as a removable hard drive, or left in your desktop system as an auxiliary or secondary drive. To start, simply proceed directly to the
section titled “Laptop/Notebook Users: or “esktop Users: as applicable
.
B. Installing your operating system onto your SSD:
If you are using a Mac, or if you are using another operating system and wish to perform a fresh install of your OS onto the Verbatim SSD,
ou will need to review the appropriate hardware installation section, install the SSD, and then boot your system from the original operating
system CD’s (or other boot media) supplied by your system maker and perform a fresh installation of the OS onto the SSD. After installing
the OS, you will need to install all applications
f
rom their original distribution media, and apply updates to all OS, applications, and drivers
as re
q
uired. You will also need to copy any user data (if applicable) from backup media to your new SSD after the OS installation has been
ompeted. If you are not familiar with these steps, please seek professional installation assistance, or consider installation option A if you are
using a Windows operating system
.
mportant Note: It is recommended to backup your PC before cloning to avoid data loss due to any unforeseen diffi culty.
