    New hardware and fresh Windows on SSD, having problem with my HDDs!


    Hi! Recently upgraded my mobo, CPU and RAM and did a fresh installation on my empty SSD. However, I am facing some issues with my two old HDDs. I didn't wipe them before, theyre as they were on my old Windows.

    The problems are mainly that I can't seem to be able to use the search function to find any apps that are on either one of these - I can however access most files on them, including games like Warzone but Stean won't recognize the currently installed games.

    Any solution to this?

    Fresh Install of Windows 10 Home in new SSD

    I have this Dell N4010 Laptop that I want to upgrade with an SSD and use the existing HDD as Data drive. I have an original windows of digital license.

    Please suggest how I can install a fresh copy of the windows in my new SSD with the existing license. And please suggest how to activate the new installation of Windows.

    OS on new SSD, keep existing data on HDD and use as external drive

    Hi,

    use steps you suggested, there should be no problem.

    Just replace HDD with SSD first then run installation. Do not forget to remove Windows files from HDD after the end of a process.

    Preforming a fresh installation of windows on a new ssd

    I would like to get an ssd to house my OS and keep my large files and games on my current hdd. Instead of cloning the hdd, as it would be larger than the ssd. I would like to just install windows on the new drive but then does having two drives with windows
    installed conflict with each other? Any suggestions would help.
