    How to move from HDD to SSD with clean install?


    I have a SSD on way that I will be using to run Windows and some apps.

    I will do a clean install of Windows on SSD. Will I need to format the old HDD? I want to retain my files that are not stored in C drive.

    Moving Windows from HDD to SSD

    Ok, background. Got a PC from a relative, 2013 dell prebuilt, not bad, but time to upgrade. I have been using it for maybe a year and a half. It has a 1TB HDD that I have many files on. Building a new PC, have everything but case and SSD. I want to use
    a 64GB SSD for boot drive, and HDD for mass storage. I got my current PC ready by removing the 1TB HDD and installing a 231GB laptop from a laptop that was barley functioning. How do I configure my HDD and move my OS? Should I install a new one on the SSD
    and then transfer the activation? I know I can just use my HDD, but I want a clean Windows install, without any old drivers conflicting with my new system. How would I go about doing this? Also what would be the best way to configure an SSD boot drive and
    separate HDD mass storage for files and programs?
