I'm replacing my old hard drive with two new ones, a 250g SSD and a 1TB HDD, and had a few questions before I get started.
First off, I'm not planning on cloning my old one. There is little I need from it, and I know there are viruses in some of the files, so I plan on starting fresh. Can I copy the OS onto a flash drive and boot it from there, or do I need to find the original OS disks?(I know I have them somewhere, I just have no idea where)
Also, how do I control which hard drive is the primary storage? Is there any specific problems I should know about?
I'm sorry if these are dumb questions. I'm not new to computers, but I have never ran two hard drives at once, and never owned an SSD, so I just want to be on the safe side before i try anything.
