Windows 95 computer with 60GB IDE HDD... could I replace the HDD for a SSD?
-
Hello all, One customer asked me to replace an HDD in an old computer (robot controller). Now they have there a 2.5" 60GB HDD ATA-7 HDD plugged using an IDE to ATA-7 converter (the computer have an IDE interface). Do you think that would work? Is it possible to use a simple conversion device and not needing to install drivers? My plan would be to burn an image of the previous HDD into the new SSD one and plug it. As always thank you all. :thumbsup:

It should be possible; I have done it recently on two Windows 10 laptops. I used the SSD manufacture's software to copy the image from the hard drive to the SSD. I then swapped devices, powered up, and the system runs fine. BTW, the link in your signature looks suspiciously like spam. You may wish to remove it.

Well... since :bob: allowed to create professional profiles with web page... I really thought this was more than allowed. Anyway, I'll contact any of the site admins to ask them if this is something wrong or not (I've been doing it since 1998 ^^¡ and this is the first comment about it I've got).

Now that I read your answer... I've just done the same in my brand new laptop... replaced a SSd for a new one, and did it time ago from a SATA HDD to a SATA SSD in my mother's computer. The real question here is: will windows 95 support that without needing drivers?

Since Windows 95 is long dead there is only one way to find out. If it is not too difficult to swap the devices you should be able to try it, and revert the original disk if it does not work.
