I have just finished a new PC build with an SSD as the primary drive, with Windows 10 installed on it. I have a HDD from my old PC (HDD is only a few months old though), that i was planning on using as a secondary drive, with my data files and programs installed on it, as well as the Windows 7 I was using on my old PC.
I know that if i use both drives on the new PC, i'd be able to get my data, but not run any programs. If I upgrade to Windows 10 on the secondary drive, would it then be possible to remove the OS without formatting and losing all of the installed programs.
I've accepted that I probably will have to format and then re-download all of the programs and games that i have on my secondary drive, but if there is any way to avoid this, then that would be great, since my internet is painfully slow, and re-downloading everything will be akin to torture.
