I'm just about to install my new SSD to replace the HDD. There isn't anything on my macbook that I'm bothered about keeping so I don't mind starting from fresh.
My question is, if I replace the HDD with the SSD what happens with the OS when I first boot up? Is it just there or do I need to do something like a backup before installing the SSD?
Does the above make sense? In essence what I want is to just swap the drives, press the on button and away I go........I have a feeling it's not that simple though. Any help for this Mac noob is much appreciated
Edit - everything will be going on the new SSD (OS & Data)
