I have a friends MSI Laptop that I fixed the other day. It had a corrupt Windows 10 when it came in from Amazon. I wiped the hard drive entirely and installed a completely new windows on the HDD(not the SSD). This laptop has a 15 GB M.2 SSD and a 1 TB hard drive. The computer was slower than before since I installed it on the hard drive and since then I have tried to install it on the SSD and I CAN! BUT!!! I dont know how to setup windows to use the 1 TB hard drive for program files, all the other files besides the windows install basically. I can't even install drivers because it never lets me unzip the files due to the remaining 100 MB after the Windows 10 install! PLEASE HELP!
 
Solution
You cannot use that "15GB" M.2 SSD as the OS drive.
It is not a drive in its own right...it is merely there as a cache for the 1TB HDD.

I repeat...you cannot use a 15GB drive for the OS.
