    Windows installed on hard-drive instead of SSD


    HiI have an HP-Envy 360. It has both an SSD drive and a normal hard drive. Originally the SSD was allocated to be the C: drive and the hard drive D:. Windows was installed and booted of the SSD C: drive.I reinstalled Windows and this situation seems to have swapped over, i.e. the C: drive is the hard drive and D: the SSD. Windows is installed on the C: hard drive and therefore the machine runs slower.Can you anybody guide me how to fix this issue, please?Many thanks in advance, Shaun

    :)

    Windows 10 Installed on hard drive instead of SSD

    I just upgraded my laptop to Windows 10. It has a hard drive (~ 1 TB) and an SSD (~ 25 GB). Previously, Windows 8 was installed on the SSD. When I upgraded, I did not see an option to choose which drive to install Windows to. It did it on the hard drive.
    Obviously I want it on the SSD. Any idea how to move it over OR reinstall with the option to choose which drive?

    Thanks.
