    Delete the first windows 10 system from a dual system?


    Hi

    I have a dell xps 15, it used to have only one HDD so the whole win10 system (let's call it sys1) is on it.

    I recently bought a m.2 SSD and added it to the laptop. I installed a new win10 (sys2) on the SSD, so now I have a dual system on my computer (on separate drive). Though it now boots without a problem with a dual system booting manager, I want to remove the first system and save the HDD for data storage. I looked at the the partition manager (in sys2), it shows that the HDD as drive 0 and the "system reserve" partition is in it. It looks like all the booting manager is on the HDD.


    I am now wondering if there is a way to move booting manager to the SSD and format the HDD entirely, and leave sys2 untouched? Or the only thing I could achieve without re-installing the system is turn off the dual booter and delete the old windows folder?

    :)

    Delete the first windows 10 system from a dual system?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
