  1. How to properly install windows onto an SSD?


    My PC has two drives, and HDD and SSD, and boots from the HDD.So far, I have downloaded the Windows 10 installation media onto a flashdrive. I haven't installed it there. I moved the exe to the SSD and ran it there, where I presumed windows downloaded. My PC restarted. I went into BIOS to prioritize my SSD by I get an error of 0xc000000f. Changed everything back now. What did I do wrong? Why can't I boot from my SSD?

    :)

    New SSD, is it performing properly?

    i would suggest to secure erase it, and partition it so that the partition is 25% smaller than the SSD's size...
    i believe that will Significantly increase the random access rate so that you won't experience the "pauses" that make SSD's seem slow... anandtech's lastest review of SSD's seem to make this suggestion.

    TL;DR... size your SSD 25% smaller than it's size. (windows partition...)

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
