    Win 10 clean install question

    This is what I would do:
    • Shrink the hard drive partition until it's small enough to fit on the SSD.
    • Clone the Windows 8.1 setup to the SSD.
    • Boot off the SSD and make sure that Windows 8.1 is happy (i.e., no complaints about activation).
    • Upgrade to Windows 10 on the SSD.
    This way, you know that Windows 8.1 has a valid setup on the SSD before doing anything else. Plus, the Windows 10 upgrade will be processed much faster on the SSD. Finally, you still have the hard drive setup to fall back to if anything goes wrong.

    How to install Windows 10 on second SSD or Hard drive

    Installing windows 10 on a second drive

    I have a desktop computer that is running windows 10 home edition with a 1tb hard drive. I'm installing a solid state drive as a second hard drive. I want to install windows 10 home edition on this drive and make it the boot drive. I'm confused if I should
    download the windows 10 home edition iso file or should I use the media creation tool? Any help would be appreciated! Also, any suggestions or warnings about what problems I might encounter. The SSD is 500gb so there should be no problem fitting windows on
    it. I'm keeping the original hard drive to use as a data drive.

    Thanks
