Install Windows 10 on SSD?

[yoyoran]

I recently bought a Samsung SSD 850 evo 250gb. Now i really would like to transfer my OS to the SSD, but i cant do this though Samsung migration software because my HDD has 600+ gb of stuff on it. So i want to just buy windows 10 again (I can get it fairly cheap), and run the installer from USB and then install Windows 10 on the SSD. My questions are: Is this possible and how do I do this (video or good explenation). And i dont have an external HDD to back up my stuff so I would really like to do it without losing any data.

Any help is appreciated!

Okey, last few questions: will things like browser history or favorite sites be deleted, because these belong to an application but are not an application themself. And in a video someone said that windows will format automatically, but i heard that formatting is bad for an ssd?!

And in the video he was able to choose from 2 drives, so is it really neccesary to disconnect the HDD?

Yes, disconnect all but the SSD. Trust me on this.

Formatting is 'bad' for an SSD only if you do it twice a day, every day. For years.

Should i just disconnect the SATA cable? Or also power?

Either or both is fine.

Chrome and Firefox allow you to login to them now. The advantage to having an account with both is they save all your favorites and passwords, meaning you can login to Chrome on any PC and have all your passwords/shortcuts available.

Just thought I would mention it. Enough advisors in here, I won't add to the confusion
