Installing new 250gb SSD for os and some programs and 2TB hard drive for mass storage, how to go about this?

[Das_EFX]

I want to add an SSD and a 2TB HDD to my current system which has already got a 2TB HDD. I want to do this as the system is very slow and I want to speed it up. The problem is how do I go about this, do I get rid of my current HDD and replace it with the new or just keep it with the two other storage devices. I also want to know how to install the OS onto the SSD and not onto the other HDDs. Thanks!

Make a Clean Installation of Windows 10 on SSD using the below thread:

Use your 2TB HDD as secondary drive by connecting it internally for storing files and Docs.

Good Luck. Peace.

For 'cloning' your HDD with O/S to your new SSD, follow USAFRet's guide on this thread, (scroll to last message in tread) http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2966293/samsung-data-migration-clone-hdd-250-samsung-850-evo-ssd.html

How much total used space is on your current drive?
What, specifically, does this space consist of?
What OS is this?

Simply install the ssd like any hdd then install WIndows on it like any hdd. Or even better, clone your current installed Windows partition onto the ssd if you can.
