    What happens to Desktop after new install?


    Going to be installing Win10 on a new HDD but was wondering what happens to everything already on my existing desktop.
    Once Ive installed the OS to the new drive I will plug that drive back in and be using my existing drive that Windows is currently installed to as storage.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
