Hi all!

I just bought a new HP Laptop which came with Windows 8 OS, and 2x 1TB HDDs.

My 2 questions are:

1. Can I remove 1x TB HDD and put the SSD in its place?

2. How can I do a clean install of windows 8 on the new SSD if the other HDD has the windows 8 OS installed on it? The laptop did not come with any Windows 8 CD - really unsure if you can do this :S

Any help/ advice regarding this would be appreciated.


Thanks
