[SOLVED] Can be this done? How?

[Patricio_1]

So, I just pirchased an SSD NVME for my PC, currently im ussing an HDD.

What I wanna do is making a new clean windows install on the SSD and then using the HDD as storage and games.

Will this bring errors or something? Will I be able to delete Windows from the HDD without having to format the whole thing?

Disconnect HDD, install Windows on NVME, make sure BIOS boots from here. Reconnect HDD, assign it a drive letter, and delete Windows folder once you're sure you no longer need it.

once Windows on new drive and you are sure there is nothing on the install you want to keep,
rename the windows folder windows.old
run Disk cleanup on the hdd
click cleanup system files
Wait a bit while Windows scans for files, then scroll down the list until you see "Previous Windows installation(s) and click that option and click OK.

This should remove the old install but leave you with a mess of program files... at least windows will mostly be gone. The boot partition will remain though. It just doesn't lead anywhere.
