Long story short:

I tried to clone all contents of my WD Blue 1TB to my new Kingston HyperX 120GB SDD. Specifically, I was trying to clone the OS so I didn't have to reinstall.

The program I used to do said clone was EaseUS Todo Backup Free 5.8. It ended up splitting both my drives into 4 total partitions; it split one hard drive into two partitions. My intention was only to transfer my OS from my WD HDD to my SSD. Now that I had 4 partitions, I tried to reverse it by "merging" the partitions back together with EaseUS Partition Master 9.2.2

Now it looks like this

I don't even know what I'm doing anymore.

I just want back my one WD HDD drive and my one Kingston HyperX SDD as my boot/main OS. Erasing all computer data is not a problem since my computer is relatively new. Sorry, I'm not very technical with computers!

What do?
 
Solution
do you have any important / irreplacable files on the drive or is it just windows? If not then just delete all partitions and reformat both drives.

This can be done during OS install.

Well I bought my WD HDD 1tb first so I installed the OS.

Then I bought an SSD and tried to clone my OS/data from the WD HDD to the SSD instead of doing a clean install; I thought it would be easier/faster. I guess I regret my decision now because I'm confused as to why my hdd & ssd are split into partitions (picture above) and how to fix it.

I just want a normal 1 HDD and 1 SSD with the SSD being the OS/boot.

Pls respond
