== Using the SSD == If you are using the SSD to install Linux, simply select it as the installation device during the normal installation process. To use is for additional space in Windows, you will need to set up a partition on it. Search for the "Manage Drives & Partitions" tool and open it. You should see your drive show up with a black status bar and be listed as "Unallocated Space". Right click on it, and select "Create Partition". At this point, configure the size to use the whole drive, and select your desired drive letter (D:// is common). Once you apply the changes, your drive should be accessible in file explorer. It is possible to move the default user directories such as Downloads, Desktop, etc.. to the drive, and to configure Steam to install games on it, but those topics are not in the scope if this wiki. Feel free to drop by at a LUG meeting for help with those topics.
