  • Setting up SSD for new build?

    I am building my first system and had a few questions regarding set up of my SSD before i install Windows 7. When i first turn on my new build do i have to change my Bios manually to AHCI or will it automatically detect this for me. And what are the following steps i need to know......Also should i change my boot sequence to CD/DVD 1st before installing Windows 7?

    Hi

    before install windows, you should change the AHCI mode as well, and the windows will install the AHCI driver automatically, and you can set CD/DVD in the 1st before the installing.
