[Aaron9546]

I just clean installed windows 10 onto my HDD and can't find my SSD to move windows onto now when I go into disk management it shows me my ssd "Healthy (systems, active, primary partition )" and my hdd "Healthy (boot,page file, crash dumo, primary partition ) but in "this pc" it has no option to go on my SSD I can only see my hdd and the system reserved hdd do I have to do something in bios?

A brand new drive would need to be initialized in Disk Management.
How are you planning to put the OS on the SSD?

In disk management what options does it give you when your right click on the SSD?

EaseUS Todo Backup but I've not got to that yet I was wondering why I can't see my ssd on "this pc"

I did not know I had to use a tool I thought copy and paste from one drive to another would do it lol so I would use EaseUS Todo Backup but I still don't understand why I can see my ssd in the "this pc" part and only the hdd is visible until you go into disk managment

For the OS, no, you cannot just copy/paste from one drive to another.
Easus Todo, Macrium Reflect, Acronis Trueimage, Casper....Use one of those.

You can't see it in 'This PC', because it doesn't have a drive letter yet.

Use one of the above tools to migrate the OS from the old drive to the new drive.
Assuming, of course, that the total used space on the current C partition is smaller than the size of the SSD.
