So, basically we were removing useless stuff at my house and found my old config. I decided to see if I can recycle stuff and removed my 1TB hard drive. I checked the compatibility and it's the right SATA.
After looking online I found a couple of threads and tutorials that told how to set a drive with windows as a secondary drive but I wanted to be sure.
Here are the steps I came up with. (PS: my old drive still has (useless) files and windows)
1. Put in the old drive in my current setup (computer turned off)
2. Launch the computer in BIOS mode
3. Check the SSD is the set as the highest priority
4. Reset the old drive in BIOS (don't know what they mean by that, so a lil more explanation on how would be cool)
5. Restart computer
If you could tell me what I got right and what's wrong it'd be cool
I also wondered If I can use my old cables to connect my drive to the computer ?
Thanks in advance
