Sure you can use the 250 gb ssd, but just make sure your ultrabook is upgradable And you can remove the harddrive

Yes, you can do it if the SSD has the same size of your partition on HDD that you are doing a clone. For example: SSD=256Gb and HDD = 256Gb, OK! But, if SSD=256Gb and the HDD=320Gb, no possible to make a clone.

Hook up the SSD to the PC. Restart the PC with the CD that came with it in the CD drive and boot from it. Start the cloning software and clone your current HD to the SSD. Unplug/remove the old drive or change setting in BIOS to tell the PC to boot from the SSD if you want to keep the old drive installed.

Yes, provided the amout of data to be cloned/transferred from the HDD does not exceed the capacity of your SSD.

Thanks very much for your help. I finally succeeded to replace my hard drive with the 128GB SSD with the help of a technician.

Yes If you are replacing a hard drive just remove the old hard drive and put the new one in the caddy there might be screws you would have to remove and put back in.

Absolutely. Use Carbon Copy Cloner and that will work great. However, I would just take the old HDD and stick it in a drawer as a backup drive, get another SSD and use it as external super fast storage.

I don't think that you can order it configured with an SSD, but it would be easy to purchase your favorite SSD and replace the HDD in the computer after it arrives. This computer has a lid on the bottom which makes it easy to access the drive.

I believe you can, but it may be difficult. I have opened the case, and could easily change the SSD, but I struggled in trying to get the battery out and gave up since I did not need to replace it. Even now, the battery still lasts about 4 hours on a full charge.

You can swap it out for a SSD, but just make sure you have a copy of all the drivers and some back-up discs of the OS.

Yes. Should you so choose, you can have the optical drive replaced with an SSD and run your system from the SSD. So much faster!

Pretty much out of the question. You could put a larger SSD in place of the original. The USB 3 port gives excellent performance with a compatible external drive.

Hard drives are almost always serviceable (replaceable) for most computers, including the Yoga. See this thread regarding ideas for changing out the hard drive for an SSD: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Yoga-2-13-Internals/td-p/1472366

I am pretty sure it can, I am planning on upgrading the HD to a SSD as well. The stock harddrive is slow, but the display and and processor are excellent. Not sure why they crippled the PC like that.
