Hey there.
I have a hp 15 notebook. It comes with a hdd which is slow so I decided to install an ssd in its place & use the hdd in a caddy & replacing the optical drive with it.
Now when I tried installing windows 10 on the ssd via tha bootable usb, the usb wasn't showing up in the boot device menu (f9). So I did few quick searches & found that legacy mode should be enabled in bios. So I went ahead and did that. Then the bootable usb was showing up in the boot device menu.
Then I successfully installed windows on the ssd. But then I realized that I had installed via legacy mode & now everytime I boot up I have to press f9 & select the ssd else it boots up from the hdd.
So my questions are:

So my questions are:
- do I have to reinstall the windows in the ssd via uefi for it to automatically boot via ssd. Also then how do I do it because the bootable usb doesn't show up in the boot menu when legacy is turned off.
- What about the hdd partitions. Can I delete them. I manually didn't create any partitions so all my data is in C drive itself. Rest partitions are recovery, oem reserved etc. Do I delete them ?
