Disconnect your HDD
Connect your SSD
Install the OS
After everything is working correctly and booting from the SSD (change this in the BIOS), reconnect your HDD

It will be on there, until you delete it.
If your BIOS is set to not boot from that drive, it won't boot from it. The old OS is just files on that drive.

Preferably, you go to the manufacturers website and download whatever is newest. That CD you have may be 6 months old.
But that will work for now.

If there is nothing on that drive you need anymore:
Open up Disk Management
Delete ALL existing partitions.
Create one new large partition
Format
Give it a drive letter.

Went onto disk management I see disk 0 and disk 1 , 0 is ssd and 1 is hdd. Both have a system reserved thing beside it and beside that is their drive letter do I just right click the hdd and format it

 

[bluemagma]

(F
931gb

Right clicked now I have the option to format

 

[bluemagma]

Also instead of formating it can I just uninstall Windows or sm on the hdd because I have a few games but Idm getting rid of them if it means clearing Windows

 

[bluemagma]

Oh do I just delete volume or formate all partition in hdd

There is no 'uninstall' for just Windows.

Hey I just deleted to two volumes on the hdd now what

 

[bluemagma]

Right click it , then I click new simple volume, then do its max size. Now I'm confused it says assign the following drive letter then it lets me pic , also under that is says "mount in the following empty NTFS folder"??? Then underneath it says do not assign a driver letter or driver path? What do I do

Give it a drive letter, whichever you want and is available.

 

[bluemagma]

So what do you mean , do I assign a letter ?? I'm new to this

 

[USAFRet]

Yes, assign a drive letter. It will only allow you to assign a drive letter that is free.
