Is OS installed on SSD drive?

The Windows folder appears on the C drive, which is the SSD, so I would assume the OS is installed on the SSD drive.

it doesn't come with an OS, you can install either a Windows OS or a Linux distro (ie, Ubuntu, Fedora...) The SSD drive capacity can be whatever you want, but the actual SSD size needed is the 2.5 form factor. I tried fitting a 3.5 HD in the chasis and it didn't close all the way, so I switched to a 2.5.

Yes. OS independent. You will want to format it for the OS you will be using but the drive will accommodate either.

The drive has software that 'clones' your existing drive. all files, including the operating system, are copied. Once that is done, you can delete any files you don't want on the SSD & still find them in their original place on the hard drive.

Yes you can. You can add the SSD to the drive bay from the front of the system which is pretty awesome. I tried the hard way and well failed because of the OS i was trying with. But since then I've left the OS on the main drive which is fast... And everything that's important gets installed on my SSD and it's fast.

You get installation keys with the SSD, then you download software on website

No, It is a single drive and has a single parition. The drive is simply a hybrid method (SSD/HDD) of storing memory.

You can install any os to any hard drive if you format it properly, even external ones. I currently am running a dual boot between windows 7 and windows 10 each one on one one hard drive respectively. Hope this helps..

You dont generally, the 80GB mSATA solid state drive is used by the OS for caching purposes. Or it could be configured to have the OS only installed on it not sure though. Can Seller clarify?

I doubt it, but Crucial tech support (crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd) could answer this question for sure. I'm not sure why you would want to order it with the OS pre-installed, since their Easy Install Kit and software does a perfect job., Then you won't have to reinstall all your software. Be sure to buy an SSD that is as large or larger than your original hard disk or the cloning process will fail.

Yes, it is upgradeable to 240/500GB M2 SSDs, but you need to void the warranty (as it requires modification of the internal hardware and opening the computer) and requires some configuration from the HDD, so it is possible a clean install of Windows may be required after modification to accomodate the new SSD drive.

no. has slot to install. I installed OS with USB ram drive and external DVD as needed.

If your Computer hardware supports the SSD's SATA requirements, than I would imagine that your OS will run the SSD, but maybe not at optimum Samsung design. Not everything is plug n play to the point that you just plug it in and watch TV. Always have a backup and a backup plan, no matter what you do, you can lose it all in one action. Good luck. P.S. - My Samsung 120gb SSD rocks.

It has a 256GB SSD and a 1TB hard drive. The operating system is installed on the SSD.

I think there is a SSD in there, however it doesn't show up in the OS (I don't know if it is part of the HD, like a combo or separate). I do notice that it seems to speed up after a couple boots. The HD in this PC is slow, but my often used programs seem to come up fairly quickly.

SSD's are basicaly for fast booting of your OS system. For storage go to your Hard drives! That is my recomendation

Not at all. SSD allocates information that you use the most to itself. You don't even have to worry about it.
