I'm Going to put an SSd in my 2011 mbp tonight and was wondering if I had to do anything with the operating system? Or is it as simple as just putting the SSd in? Thanks for the help.

You'll have to put in the new drive, boot from the OS disk, format the SSD to HFS+ (Journaled), then install the OS
Where can I get an os disk? Thanks for the quick reply?
One should have come with your machine. It'll be a gray disk in the box.
I have the SSS installed and put the os disk in and I went through a couple steps and I get to an "install Mac os x" screen, it says to select disk I want to install Mac os x and there are no options, buy if I click on utilities up top I see an option for the SSd. Please help
I am there and I clicked on my ssd on the left hand side but the bottom buttons won't let me click them. The verify disk permissions, verify disk man this is depressing.
To properly format your drive, click the SSD on the left, then go into partition. Change the volume scheme to 1 partition, and set that to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Also, in the options menu at the bottom, make sure the disc is partitioned with a GUID partition table.
