Windows 8.1 installation on a SSD and an old HDD as storage.

[Ramonn]

So,if I buy a SSD and install on it Windows 8.1 but I already have installed Windows 8.1 in my current HDD,how could I delete the Windows 8.1 that my HDD has installed(including all my personal files) in order to use all that 500GB just for storage,I mean,do I have to use some kind of program,or is there any windows feature that will delete the HDD's Windows 8.1(and my personal files)completely,and If there is a way could you please explain to me how?

P.S:I know that is a very simple thing to do but I am too nervous to try things that I've never done before,and sorry for the inconvenience guys.

Thanks.

If you don't want to back up any files to a external device such as a flash drive or external drive.
Follow this guide first, when you get to the option to format, select your old drive first.
Next you delete the partition, exit out of the windows install, unhook your old drive.
Next hook up your ssd only and run the windows 8 installation one more time.
Format the new ssd and let windows installation do its thing.
Once its completed and your first boot into window 8, turn off the machine, hook up your old drive.
Boot up the machine to windows and use the second link provided and give your hard drive logical partition.

If you do it this way, it'll be smooth and pretty quick to setup.
