I just bought a new laptop that arrives tomorrow (!) with a 1 TB hard drive that has Windows 10 pre-installed, along with some utility programs and such for the laptop. (Probably a little crapware too, but I can deal with that. The utility programs are keepers, though.)
Yesterday, I was given an M.2 SSD (Crucial 275GB). I'd obviously like to move Windows and all the installed programs to the SSD, make it the bootable drive, and then turn the 1 TB drive into a data drive.
I haven't had the opportunity to work with Win 10 hardly at all, and as an OEM version, I won't have any disks or install media. Plus a generic Windows ISO won't have the laptop utilities.
It seem like the only thing that makes sense is to make the SSD the bootable drive and keep the other for data. How can I go about accomplishing what I want to do here?
Thanks!
