    OS on new SSD, keep existing data on HDD and use as external drive

    Hi,

    use steps you suggested, there should be no problem.

    Just replace HDD with SSD first then run installation. Do not forget to remove Windows files from HDD after the end of a process.

    HDD to SSD

    I don't understand why you changed the boot order in your BIOS.

    When you image or clone an HDD, and restore the image or clone to an SSD, you've got an identical copy of your computer on a different hard drive. Nothing has changed, really. So the next step is to remove the HDD from your computer and replace it with the
    SSD, then carry on as normal.

    HDD on ssd worth it?

    upgrade from HDD to SSd

    Hi Peter

    It is definitely worth switching to an SSD, the performance boost is clearly noticeable and boot times are so much faster with an SSD. The upgrade is honestly really worth it in terms of performance

    Please Note, for bet performance, when you get your SSD, you should backup your data and clean install Windows 10 and your 3rd party applications onto that, do not clone the old HDD onto the SSD
