SSD N00b...
11/23/15 07:37 AM


Welp, just bought my first SSD - Transcend 512GB. The question I have is, is it possible to transfer the system over to the new drive, but delete just the OS from the other drive and keep using it? I currently have a 2TB HDD and I want to keep using it, but boot off the SSD. Or will I have to copy everything over to another drive (have a 3TB backup drive currently awaiting Win 10 to be installed in order to be able to use it- Win 7 backup won't work with a 3TB drive), reformat the internal 2TB drive, then copy everything back? Or is it possible to do the Win 10 upgrade and just have Windows install it on the SSD instead of overwriting Win 7 on the HDD?

I see all sorts of stuff on cloning the drive then removing the original, but as I said I want to keep using the HDD, just not as the boot device. Bah, what a headache...

Edit: BTW, AHCI is already enabled, and the OS sees the drive but it is not formatted or mounted yet.
