After transferring the data, you can replace your old drive with the
new drive.

your new drive is working properly.

unsure of where this is located or how to do this, contact your
computer manufacturer or computer manual.

enclosure that holds your hard drive, usually with four screws. Take
the drive out of the caddy. Remove any connectors, take note
of any and all connectors along with their orientation. The hard
drive should look similar to your new hard drive.
3. Attach the new hard drive to the caddy. Reconnect any
connectors.
4. Insert the assembled caddy in the computer.

your operating system as though it was the old drive.
