August 25, 201114 yr Nope. Unless you can clone your current HD with everything on it, remove everything other than the OS from the clone, put that cloned OS on the SSD, rename the SSD drive to the same letter as the old drive and the delete the OS off the norm HD. That's tricky work. A fresh install is much easier and safer Di Agron Dell XPS 15 L502X | Intel i5-2540m @ 2.60GHz | 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB) | nVidia GT525M | Seagate 500GB 7200RPM | 15" 1366x768 | 23" LG 1360x768 | Got a hardware question?

August 25, 201114 yr If you get the cheapest M17x possible, then it won't be very good with FSX. What's your budget?

August 27, 201114 yr Getting back on topic, I am one simmer who will never buy a Dell again. When my XPS died, I tried Digital Storm. I love it! They were very easy to work with and sent almost daily reports during the build to me by email. Just try their website www.digitalstormonline.com
