hdd to ssd on new computer

Hi yes im going to buy 2 1tb samsung evo 850 to replace my 1tb hdd know my pc comes with 240gb ssd already

what i want to do is unplug both and swap them out for the 1 tb evo 850 and then just completely install windows on one of them and have one on back up is this method a good idea or okay because ssd is a lot quiker if you have the full set up please let
me know

1. change hdd to ssd and the 240 ssd to 1tb ssd

2 reinstall windows

3 i dont need anything cloned or saved

so let me know if this will work

 

Replacing my HDD with SSD?

That makes sense. I should unplug all other drives? Does this mean I should open my PC, plug in the new SSD internal, don't plug in my new 2TB Data, and then drag and drop my C: drive to my SSD? I read to delete the old 1TB in Disk Management. Then open
my PC and install my 2TB? How does it know what to use for boot (SSD) and data (HDD?) After that, I have no other questions. I think I will be able to get this working.

 

I'm installing a new SSD

I have windows ten and a IBUYPOWEAR BB921 system - that already has a SSD Drive installed as the C Drive and a D Drive.

I'm adding a new SSD which is replacing the SSD C Drive.

Windows 7 Home

Intel I7 - 67000 CPU

1060 3GB Nividia

16GB Memory

ASUS MB / H170 PRO

Desktop

American Megatrends BIOS - 1803 Version 3

I'm going to install a new larger SSD by installing windows through the installation media. Is it required to unplug the current D Drive or should that have any adverse effect. If so - Do you have to re Initialize it after you plug it back up.

I think I have all the information I need to get it done but I don't want to be looking for information after I'm off line nor do I want to cause my self extra work by doing steps for older systems that might be obsolete.
