Migrating Only OS from HDD to SDD

[Mustafa_10]

hi, I just bought a new 250GB SSD and i would like to move window 10 from my 3TB HDD to my new sdd so i can boot up faster. I only want to migrate windows 10 to this SSD and no other files (NO CLONING AS IT BRING MORE THAN JUST OS). If i must do a clean install of windows on the SSD, how might I completely delete the OS on the old hard drive without formatting the drive as i do not want to lose my files. Thanks for any answers.

Install fresh Windows on SSD.
Copy your files from HDD to SSD.
Reformat Windows partition on HDD to remove Windows.

Now copy your files back to HDD as a backup.
