    Moving OS onto an SSD from HDD


    I am wanting to swap my windows 10 from my HDD to my SSD, I was wondering if I choose to reinstall windows will it give me the option of where I install it, or will it automatically go to the disk it was already installed on?

    :)

    Moving my OS from HDD to SSD

    Ok so in a nutshell,

    1. Plug in SSD, mount it and move the Media Creation Tool onto that.

    2. Restart, open BIOS and move the SSD to the first slot in Boot Order

    3. Close BIOS, let computer restart and do a fresh install onto the SSD

    So that installs the OS onto the SSD, after that, am I fine to reformat the HDD and delete the OS software on it?

    Moving OS onto an SSD from HDD

    Is it possible to move the OS from SSD to HDD ?

    hi

    i'm thinking of adding an ssd to my computer but i don't want to format the OS since it's tiring to re-add my emails and other stuff, so i wanted to know is it possible to move the OS from SSD to HDD without reinstalling the window?
