So I've installed Media Creation Tool and put my windows 10 on USB drive.. And my PC is arriving in like an hour and I need to ask few questions..

1. I have to put USB in my computer, turn it on, open BIOS and put boot system from what? Is it called USB drive in BIOS?

2. How to install it on SSD?
I heard in one tutorial you have to disconnect your HDDs to put Windows in SSD ? I cant believe it.
I saw whats the process once you boot from USB drive and then it comes to Drive 0 unallocated space, I have 1 TB of HDD and 250gb of SSD, for me Its gonna be like "Drive 0 ......." with 1000 GB and "Drive 1 ......" with 250gb? Is that right? If it is, I know obviously what to do from there but is it possible that it doesn read my SSD or something? Or is there any additional thing I have to do in BIOS to install it to SSD? Both drives are new tho...

Thanks guys

Yes, you disconnect ALL drives except the one you want the OS on. In this case, the SSD.
The reason for that is that Windows often puts the System Reserved boot partition on 'the other drive'. 6 months from now, when you want to take that HDD out for whatever reason...no boot for you.

Have only the SSD connected when you install the OS.

Yes. Just disconnect the cables. You don't have to physically remove the whole drive from the case. Just have it disconnected.
 


Well, you might need to poke around in there to verify the boot order.

On my system, I always put the boot drive in the lowest number SATA port, just for continuity. Either 0 or 1, whichever is the lowest.
That way, I know which drive is the boot drive.
