Cloned my HDD to my SSD.
On the BIOS I also set it up to where my SSD has 1st booting priority.
Yet, under system configuration it still shows my HDD (the c: drive) being the one handling the OS.
My question:
What do I do so my SSD could be the one handling the OS?
I'm running Windows 8.1 that I got in my Asus desktop without a serial number so fresh install is out of the equation.

I want to use it as a storage drive for my videogames. How do I do that?

Update:
Googled how to format. Thank you so much!

Have you already moved all your important data off of your old drive?

**If there are still things on your old drive you need to keep be sure to back them up before formatting the drive**

To re-format your old drive:

- Open up Disk Management, it will look like this:

- Right click your old drive and choose 'Format,' ---> perform quick format

This will erase all the data on the old drive and make it available to use for new data and media storage.
