  1. Is it just TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE--to install Windows 10 on an SSD????


    My goal was simple (or so I thought)--I wanted to install Windows 10 on my new 1TB SSD. (The current boot disk is painfully slooooooooooow!)


    The first "excuse" for not being able to install--target disk must be GPT not MBR. Okay, go back and convert disk to GPT.


    Try to install Windows, again, now--it's "Cannot create partition or locate existing one..." Okay, create partition, creating TWO drives, roughly 500GB each--with format.


    Try to install Windows, again, now--it's "Cannot create partition or locate existing one..."

    (I actually did this, multiple times, using different applications to create the partitions.)


    So, if I understand what I'm being told, I can create a partition in different ways, but NONE of them are identifiable to Windows when attempting a(n) (re)install--is that about correct?


    Wondering why, if the SSD can emulate a HDD--why is it soooooooo difficult (if not impossible) to install Windows on it?

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
