Will new SSD be picked up by BIOS?

[alphabyte]

A question to those who have more experience than me:
I am planning on upgrading my desktop PC by installing a SSD which will carry the Operating System (Windows 10) and program files. My concern is that it is an old motherboard that dates from 2011 (pre-SSD days), and I am wondering if the BIOS will pick up the new disk correctly?
Board: Intel Corporation DH67BL AAG10189-211
Thanks in advance.

I Just installed a new A-Data 480gb on an old GA-H67MA-USB3-B3 (rev. 1.0) motherboard released in June 2011 just fine....

At worst you'd need a bios update I reckon. But otherwise, sata is sata...?

If it's a standard SATA SSD, you shouldn't have any issues. Installed a 128 GB Samsung 840 Pro in a 2006 Fujitsu Lifebook 7 years ago, and it detected the drive on boot. Moved that drive to a friend's ThinkPad X60 (also 2006/2007 vintage) earlier this year, and it booted first time.

SATA is SATA so it will work.

SATA is SATA yes so it will work no problem.

You maybe just have a speed limiter in place with older SATA over newer SATA etc, but still massive improvement with SSD regardless.

All replies are positive, so I'll go ahead.
