(redirected) Upgrading HDD in Alienware 15 to SSD
Hello all,
I recently purchased a SSD and want to install it in my alienare 15. I noticed a great tutorial video on youtube, so i dont need to know how to physically do it.
Rather, I want to know the best way to get a fresh windows install on it? I currently have alien respawn on a usb drive, but I think that's just for recovery, correct?
Does Dell or Alienware make any utilities I can use to put on a USB stick for fresh windows 8.1 install that also includes factory Alienware settings/software?
I cant seem to find the answer anywhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If the USB flash drive was made with version 1.7 or 1.8 it will allow the installation of factory settings on a SSD.
