Hi all,
I have a few questions, I have just bought a 500GB SSD Drive that will be arriving on Saturday. I currently have a 1TB HDD which is now 4 years old so it's pretty slow on start up (The rest of the PC has been upgraded 2 months ago), so I would like to completely wipe everything on my PC including Windows and reinstall it on to the new SSD. It'll be nice just to wipe everything and start fresh with Windows, Drivers and a couple games on the SSD aand then use the HDD for general storage.
Now my questions are:
1. How can I COMPLETELY wipe my HDD including Windows 10?
2. If I wipe my HDD including Windows 10, when it comes to reinstalling Windows can I use the previous Windows key that was on the PC previously again?
3. On install how I can I choose where Windows is installed? (SSD)
4. What program can I use to completely wipe everything tomorrow night ready for the SSD to go in?
Any help will be greatly appreciated and any tips will be too!
Thank you.
