How to Use SSD as Boot Drive?

SSD, or Solid State Drive, uses flash memory to store data that you can access digitally. This results in the SSD to have faster read, write and access time, making it much more efficientcompared to its counterpart, theHard Disk Drive(HDD). As access time on an SSD is low, any applications installed inside the SSD will load much faster than the application installed in a slower storage device. This is why most users install their Operating System in SSD....
