Yeah, this is what he was talking about. What is that? How do I get one? I see them on amazon but they are like 2terabites. I don't need that I don't think. How would you set up the game on that?
Nah you can get a SSD with just 128gb even and they are pretty cheap, all the normal stores have them now, best buy etc and the prices are comparable to online. Or just get a 128 from amazone etc.

But ya if you are just playing eq with it you might be able to just get away with installing it in your tower, connected the power and sata cable. Then just install EQ to that SSD and play it from that SSD and that should be fine.

That said, Windows will load a LOT faster if you have the SSD with Windows and EQ on it.

So if you know what you are doing you can just disconnect your HDD, and install windows on that SSD. And have your 2nd HDD connected to boot into whenever you need to or transfer stuff you want to your SSD.

Basically I would just treat it as a new install of windows. Just disconnect your HDD for now you can't damage it or your install of windows or anything by doing this if you aren't a tech type.. You just disconnect the HDD, Connect your SSD to the same Sata and power you got on your HDD most likely (unless your HDD is really old) and that is about it.. Have your USB/CD for your Windows 10 in and install it on that SSD.

Its a bit of work but you are talking a 10 year evolution in tech soo loading screens in EQ kinda are extinct with a SSD.

Also, Make sure you don't buy a M.2 SSD, unless you want to connect that to your PCI slot, they are faster but more expensive, but you won't notice a difference between a Sata port SSD and a PCI port SSD so just make sure you get a Sata Type SSD and its ez pz.
