I posed a question over on the "other services" forum! In essence, if you buy a PC, can you mount a SSD and clone the original drive? I'm reasonably sure you can! Again, in essence, my son's family is in dire need of a PC and by the time we accumulate all of the parts, he could be up and running with one of todays deals! Thank you!
