Hi, I'm building a new computer with a new SSD, but want to use my old computers HDD
I'm going to install windows on the SSD and some programs and then use my old HDD as a storage drive.
Why do most people give out advice to reformat the HDD?
Mine has over 300GB on it and I can only back up 128GB onto a flash drive. I could transfer them to my laptop but that is a lot of work.
I understand reformatting makes it faster but will I be okay to just plug it in and somehow get rid of windows? Or could I just keep windows on there?
