Hi all, I've just bought a new SanDisk SSD and I want to install it in my PC. I am hoping to do some upgrades to my computer soon and one of the big things holding me back is the fact that I am currently running a 32-bit version of Windows 10 and it can't recognise more than 3gb of RAM. I want to set up my PC so that it boots from the SSD and my other photos, music and media are on my old HDD. After some reading around it looks like it should be possible but I'm still a bit confused by the process, including what changes (if any) I need to make to the bios first, how create a partition for Windows on my SSD and then how to delete my old 32-bit version of Windows.
What I have so far is this:
1) Connect SSD power and data
2) Use windows 10 creation tool to make a USB to install from.
3) Install Windows 10 64-bit to new SSD (disconnect old HDD for this bit).
4) After Windows 10 installed reconnect HDD.
5) Boot Windows from SSD.
How do I then remove the old 32 bit version of Windows? I know my old programs won't work so I will need to reinstall them but does this affect any of the media on my drive (photos, music etc)?
Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions, it's the first time I've done anything like this!
