I bought a HP Pavilion x360 Laptop [ba-075TX] about 8-9 months ago. It came with a 1TB 'SSHD'.
Recently, when I opened it to upgrade the RAM from 4 to 8GB, I found a SATA M.2 slot for SSD - Image [https://ibb.co/nL0iox].
So, now I want to install a Samsung 860 EVO M.2 [250GB] for booting while keeping the old HDD for storage and I don't want the old data, will format it probably.
Which is the best safest way to do it?
Though, I have these steps in mind {Please correct me where I'm wrong}>
- Install M.2 drive, remove HDD while installing Win 10 from USB.
- After Win 10 is installed, connect old HDD (through SATA to USB connector) and format it.
- Install HDD back again.
- Change boot order in BIOS [SSD on first.].
{I just know that there are two type of 'boot orders' UEFI & Legacy - I don't know anything about them- Do I need to change the UEFI boot order or the Legacy one (by enabling 'Legacy Support'), Please explain this.}
