I have a Dell Inspiron 1545, it has a hdd in it, I want to upgrade it to an ssd (A 250gb Samsung 840 EVO). I have an external hard drive, can i just plug the ssd into the external hard drive and transfer the data? Also, will Windows still work?

Samsung has very data migration software. Just have both drives plugged in to the computer at the same time, boot from your HDD, run Samsungs cloning software and it will clone your entire operating system to the SSD, the  just pull the HDD out of the system and set the primary boot device to the SSD. It is a very easy process :)

 

PS: I just recently upgraded to that SSD and I LOVE it :D Transfering my OS was very easy and fast aswell.

My Current Build: 

Intel i5 3570K @ 4.4GHz 1.11V, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, Asrock Z77 Extreme4, Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz, Samsung 840 EVO 250GB, Asus GTX 760 DCII Overclocked, Corsair CX600M
