Will Windows 7 have all drivers for motherboard, Video Card, etc or will I have to fetch some?ĥ. I have been using MSE and Malwarebytes nothing more.Ĥ. Should I download other programs now and install them via thumb drive (as I intend to install all files downloaded for Win7 Fresh Install), ex. Any considerations for moving all important documents to my current spare drive so I can then move them to the WD Blue or my current primary HDD?ģ. Do I need to change anything in Bios to accommodate for WD Blue 1TB or Memory?Ģ. I read the link for Windows 7 Fresh Install and it looks straightforward.

Ideapads are okay, also look at the Dell Latitudes. Thinkpads are still the "king of the hill". I don't know if you can get a decent laptop as capable as those components for that price. This is under $500 ($600 if you have to buy an OS), you won't need a video card - the onboard is actually better than that old card you have and will do what you need easily. You will need Windows 10, Windows 7 is not supported on the new processors. SAMSUNG 960 EVO M.2 250GB NVMe PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V6E250BW.

Lastly, Seagate SeaTools also directly connects with some Microsoft system tools that come installed with Windows, but that you may never have even heard of, like the tool to eliminate malicious software, or the one that helps you manage hard drives.Your case is fine, your PSU is not so fine. Additionally, you can have all the information associated with the disk up on your screen (model number, series number, firmware version, SMART, etc.), or run an advanced test that could even erase certain information that you have stored. There aren't very many basic tests that you can run, but you can adjust the intensity of the tests according to your needs. Seagate SeaTools examines the physical surface of the disks in search of problems that may cause the disks to malfunction.

Seagate SeaTools is an official tool from the maker of Seagate hard drives, designed to help you identify possible problems in your machine's disk drives, or any other external drive that you may connect from time to time.
