Identifying installed drives
Your computer includes a hard drive (with a rotating disc) or a solid state-drive (SSD) with solid-state
memory. Because it has no moving parts, an SSD does not generate as much heat as a hard drive.
To view the drives installed on the computer, select Start > Computer.
NOTE: Windows® includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your
computer. You may be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing
software, running utilities, or changing Windows settings. Refer to Help and Support for more
information.
Handling drives
Drives are fragile computer components that must be handled with care. Refer to the following
cautions before handling drives. Additional cautions are included with the procedures to which they
apply.
