Joe C,
Good morning and thanks for your reply. I know that a fresh start is a good idea: however, I am rather paranoid about disturbing the huge number of programs and their configurations by doing a fresh install of Windows. I ordered and have received (next day) the SSD and have successfully cloned the system drive to it. This morning, I am going to replace the HDD system drive with the SSD and hope that all goes well when I boot up. I do have a question for anyone reading this post: does it matter to which SATA port the system drive is connected? I have discovered that the HDD system drive is connected to the SATA 3 port, so I plan to connect the SSD to the same port and then if booting is successful, I will go through the process of activating AHCI.
Thanks again everyone for your help.
Tom
