Windows 10 installed to Disk 1 instead of Disk 0. Should I care?

[evo23]

Just like the title says, did a fresh install of Windows 10, and it correctly installed to the SSD and created a 500MB Reserved Partition, but it installed to Disk 1 instead of Disk 0, even though when I installed it, I chose Drive 0: http://imgur.com/a/5SZMO . So now, Disk 1 is the SSD with the OS as intended, where Disk 0 is the HDD.

Does this matter in any way that Win 10 isn't installed to Disk 0?

edit: also, the "Boot" appears on Disk 1 SSD, but is on the non-System Reserved Portion. Is that cool?

Thank you!

Please show us a screencap of your Disk Management window.

But this is why we always recommend having only one drive connected while doing the install.
Completely prevents issues like this.

Hi there, here's a screenshot just prior to installing where I deleted all partitions on Drive 0: http://imgur.com/a/5SZMO

And here's the view from Disk Management once the install was done: http://imgur.com/a/NHHX1

So the SSD is the 250GB Disk 1?
And the Disk 0 is a 1TB HDD?

From your pic, it looks like everything installed exactly as it should be.

Disk 1 and Disk 0 simply speaks to which SATA port it is connected to.

Yup, that's correct. Ok, thank you. I'd seen some info on the net suggesting you always wanted the OS on Disk 0, but didn't know why it would matter as long as it boots and everything is separated correctly.

Thank you!

Exactly what USAFRet said. You can open uo your computer and change the wires around if this set up bugs you.

I generally have my OS drive as Disk 0, just for consistency.

I just checked my disk management for the first time ever and I see that my C: drive is disc 1 and disc 0 is assigned to some other drive. Oh well.
