Just a quick two queries (hopefully!),

Recently purchased a good sized SSD (500GB), which I intend to install a fresh OS onto, alongside intensive programs and games. My system is currently running Windows 10, upgraded from Windows 7 via a disc installation.

I've not done this before so could someone clarify I'm going about this the right way:

1: Power off. Remove original HDD.
2: Attach SSD to bracket, then to drive bay.
3: Power on. Insert Windows 7 disc. Power off.
4: Power on. Set priority install as the disc drive to the SSD.
5: Power on. Install Windows 7. Remove disc. Power off.
6: Power on. Upgrade to Windows 10.
7: Power off. Attach HDD to bay.
8: Power on. Launch OS with SSD as first priority.
9: Uninstall Windows 10 from HDD.

Secondly, using the same disc as I did to install the original OS on the HDD, will I even be able to upgrade the SSD version to Windows 10? Or will I have to uninstall the HDD's OS first, for example?

Many thanks,
