I'm getting ready to install a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD on a Dell XPS 8500 running Win 8.1. After migrating the OS to the SSD, I plan to format the existing hard drive and then use it for some data storage.
Will formatting the HDD destroy the Dell recovery partition (which Samsung says does not get transferred to the SSD using Samsung's Data Migration utility)?
If so, do I have any options short of buying a copy of Windows 8.1?
Thanks for any guidance.
