A follow up from the post yesterday:http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3571638/adding-ssd-keeping-hdd-extra-space.html
I used @jankerson's solution.
****unplug the reg HD after you hook up the SSD.
Boot the machine from the Windows 10 USB, install Windows.
Shut it back down once it's installed.
Hook up the HD***
Then i went to my bios and changed the boot order and put my SSD as first one.
Everything went fine.
Now on my computer i can see my SSD & HDD & System Reserved?

So the C:/ drive is where i installed windows (SSD) and the other drives are from my HDD.
What i want to do now is format my HDD and keep it as extra space.
But when i go to Disk Managment i get 4 drives??

As i said C:/ is the SSD drive so i guess the rest is from my HDD,my question is:Which of these drives do i format?
If i format the E:/ Drive (which is my hdd) will the system reserved space will go away with it or?
Also, "System Reserved" is from my curent ssd and "System Reserved (D
" is from the hdd???
Thank you in advance!
