Installing an SSD with existing HDD

[red-rock-run]

I've used migration software which came with the SSD to clone my HDD data onto the SSD. What now? When they're both plugged in, the sign-in screen flickers.

Should I unplug the SSD, put a media creation kit on a USB, load from the USB to format the HDD, then plug the HDD in?

Is this the correct order of doing things?

so if you are 100% sure you are on the ssd

name it--my ssd or whatever just so its name is different from the hdd

makes it easier to tell which is which then

Just to be sure I think I'll unplug the HDD, boot, and name the drive before doing anything else.

good choice

better to be totally sure

though if you screwed up could clone it back lol

now you know it works with macrium
