    Installing Windows, not sure which drive?


    Hey Installing Windows, not sure which drive? :) I apologise in advance if I sound totally stupid.

    A few days ago I tried to do a factory reset on my laptop but it failed right at the end and I ended up with no os installed.
    I used another computer to put Windows 10 on a usb to use to install on my laptop.

    I've booted it up but stuck straight away because I'm not sure which drive/partition I should pick to install on?
    I've read that I should pick the largest drive and also read I should pick a primary drive.
    I have a primary drive but I have an unallocated drive that is much larger, so not sure which to pick.

    Here is a picture if my drive:

    Could someone please guide me through this step?

    Thank you

    :)

    cant install windows 8 on my cruciall ssd drive

    Yeah, that was going to be my next suggestion. You can actually access the command prompt from inside the Windows installer, then run DiskPart and do a Clean command on the drive.
