Hi all, This is probably a dumb question but I have windows 10 installed on hard drive already and I am looking to install it on an ssd instead. I want to keep other files on my old drive so is it possible to delete only windows 10 from the old drive? Would deleting the windows 10 files/folders...

I recently built a mid level gaming pc and I've had a great time with it so far, except for one issue. When I play graphically intense games (Fallout 4, DiRT 3, Bioshock Infinite) the pc suddenly reboots. This doesn't happen at any predictable time, just randomly. I've checked everything that...
