    Can I change what drive my Windows is installed on?


    I recently built a new computer, taking the HDD and SSD I had used in my old computer. I installed Windows and purchased a digital license for it. Unfortunately, as I am not the best with computers, I accidently installed Windows on my HDD rather than my SSD.Is there any proper way to remove windows from my HDD and instead install/put it on my SSD?So far, I've not been able to find much in the way of useful information that doesn't involve copying the HDD.

    :)

    Can I change what drive my Windows is installed on?

    cant install windows 8 on my cruciall ssd drive

    Yeah, that was going to be my next suggestion. You can actually access the command prompt from inside the Windows installer, then run DiskPart and do a Clean command on the drive.
