Can i use this ssd with an adaptor as an external usb drive on my laptop ?

Thanks for your interest on the Crucial MX500 SSD. You can use this SSD as external secondary drive with a USB adapter (enclosure). However please bear in mind that the SSD data transfer speed will be the one offered from your laptop USB port.

Can I use this for on my dell Optiplex 3010

Yes, this can be used in any system with standard SATA interface. You will need some type of 2.5" to 3.5" drive adaptor to mount in a desktop PC. I would suggest https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07QVX8TWJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

How to get windows 7 working on tjis SSD

If you have Windows 7 installed on a hard drive already or Win 10? Just buy a cloning dock of Amazon to clone the hard drive to the SSD. Note you will need to make sure the drive you are cloning too. Is the same size or bigger. If bigger you will need to go into disk manager after the cloning is done and up and running. Click expand free space to make the C drive bigger and use all that free space.
