HI guys
i recently purchased a Acer Predator Helios 300 that comes with a 128GB SSD already attached with windows running off this hard drive. I want to swap out the 128gb for a 500gb and want to know how I would do this in terms of moving the OS etc.
i know how to physically swap the hard drive but it’s more the back end process in concerned about.
I am new to the PC world so please be patient.

Hi,
You need a spare HDD and a USB to SATA cable like the one in the link below, use MiniTool Partition wizard free program to migrate the current 128GB SSD contents, then swap the SSD and migrate from HDD to the new 500GB SSD.
