Hey everyone, I just installed a new Motherboard alongside a CPU and a SDD, (wich took me like 4 to 6 hours but it was worth it!!!). I just installed Windows 10 on the new SDD, and it works like a charm. My question is, I haven't plugged my old HDD (Wich contains like atleast 600GB of Games, music, photo and videos.) Most of that stuff is very precious to me, I wasnt able to backup all files, since I was only able to put some music and photos on Google Drive. So I wonder, can I just reconnect my HDD to my Motherboard and be able to access it as some kind of secondary drive? Will it try to delete the content of it? I'd like to know so I can then start moving some of the important files on the SSD and maybe format the HDD afterwards. Thanks everyone, I hope y'all are having a good week-end (I sure do with my now-super fast pc!!)

It will just act as a secondary drive. You can safely delete everything off the drive including the window install and just keep what you need. Normally this would be D: or E: users your name your stuff! Games will need to be re-installed.

Alright, thanks to both of you, I'll go and put it in. I'll give news in about 10 minutes or so.
