Okay, I am going to tell you my steps on what I am going to do to install my SSD. Please correct them.

P.S I don't care if the OS is on my HDD too.

1. Plug SSD into motherboard and power supply.

2. Turn on PC, go to disk management, and initialize the SSD.

3. Turn off my PC, and unplug all drives instead of the SSD

4. Plug the windows 10 media installer into PC and install windows on SSD.

5. After a while, shut down PC and plug in the other drives.

6. Go to the BIOS and make sure the SSD is at the first boot.

Are my steps correct? Please let me know.
 
Solution


Whatever the status of data on other drives, it is strongly recommended you install the OS with only the one drive connected.

You can wipe the other one later.

Trust...


Yes.
 


Finally! Thank you! I will update you after deleting the partitions.
 



Am I set?
