Do I need to have windows 8.1 installed on my SSD and my HDD?

bradinthat · Dec 7, 2014

I bought a sandisk SSD and i had a Seagate HDD. I have windows 8.1 on both. On start-up it ask me if i want to load 8.1 volume 2 or 8.1 volume 3. How do i get rid of that?

You format the drive that has the copy of Windows you don't want.

So if you want to keep W8.1 on the SSD, format the HDD.

If i format it would i lose all my data on it?
sorry if this is common sense this is the first pc if built.

Yes, a format will wipe everything out. So backup whatever you need before you format.

alright thanks. One more question, do i delete all the partitions for that drive?

ThatVietGuy · Dec 7, 2014

If you want, it's not NECESSARY, but if you want a clean drive with only one partition then yes.
