Want PC Laptop expert to replace cloned hard drive with SSD in Dell Vostro 3360

[Marksiedler]

I have a Dell Vostro 3360 laptop that I cloned the hard drive using Acronis to an SSD (all 3 partitions so should be bootable) that I would like installed. Even though I've been a PC consultant for 30 years, going inside laptops is not my preference. The hard drive is located under the palm rest and the laptop has to be significantly disassembled to get to it (I watched several YouTube videos about doing it).

Who do you recommend?

Thanks,

I'd go to Santa Rosa Computers on Piner near 101. I'm an IT professional but leave hardware to people who do it all day, and they're very, very good. Prices are reasonable, turnaround great. They may or may not want to get wrist-deep in your situation, but it's worth a call.

Heya Mark!

You've cloned the spinning disk to the SSD and just need it installed? I live in Santa Rosa and have been a sysadmin for 16+ years now. I could most likely come out to Sebastopol over the weekend and get that installed for you, I've installed SSDs in several of my own laptops.

Popping open the FRONT of laptops is often a chore, but far from impossible. Did you get this done yet?

What version of Windows are you running?
