Hello there I tried to replace my old SSD with a new one and just replaced it and kept my HARD drive and put the new ssd in and fresh installed windows. Well that didn't work out so well as the registries didn't match etc. So I replaced my new SSD with my old SSD again (bearing in mind my new ssd has windows on it too now.) I decided to try and fit my new ssd in with my old ssd and hard drive to use it as a multiboot and just load from my old SSD and use the other ssd for storage. The problem I'm facing is that the new SSD is not showing in the disk managment, I have looked in boot options and can see that my Boot #1 is my HDD and my Boot #2 is my DVD drive, but my old SSD shows up while I'm starting my pc but none of the options to set boot 1# for any of the ssds is there. It's as if my old ssd is currently running as if there is no ssd in my pc, what do I do? Thanks.
Installed my second SSD but not showing in the disk manage options?

It sounds like a cluster.
Since you tried to use both SSD as C: most likely both drive are still trying to use C: as the drive letter. Fortunately that isn't that hard to fix as you can go to Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management and under Disk Management change the drive letter of one of the SSD's to something else.
What you should have done is installed Macrium Reflect drive imaging software (free), on your original drive. Installed your new drive as a secondary drive and used the software to make an exact duplicate of your old drive to the new SSD. Then removed or unplugged the old drive, boot off the new drive made sure it worked and if you wanted to use the old drive, then you could plug it back in and give a new drive letter and wipe it clean.
