Hi guys,

I have an extra laptop hard drive that I took from my laptop because I upgraded to an SSD. I am wanting to convert it to an external hard drive to store photos, videos, etc., but it still has my old Windows and stuff on it.
What are the steps I need to take in order for it to be usable as an external USB hard drive?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

I apologizing for misunderstanding, but am I supposed to connect it back up to my laptop as the boot drive and somehow format it using Windows? Or should I purchase an external hard drive enclosure and use that to connect the hard drive to the laptop via USB and reset it from there?

I am fairly new to stuff like this, and I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!
