Hi
I am getting a new SSD for my PC. I currently have Win 10 pro installed in a HDD. While clean installing the windows in SSD what precautions do I need to take? First,after making a proper data backup I format the HDD, turn off the PC, then disconnect it,then connect the SSD-install win 10 in it and once the PC is up and working again reconnect the formatted HDD-should this be the sequence or am I missing something? Also, I have bought these for the purpose-http:// and http:// . Will it be okay? Please share your valuable opinions

Your plan is good, the sequence is right.
But, 120gb is too small for windows these days. Many things default to the "C" drive.
I might suggest a Samsung evo 240gb.
It has the advantage that you can use their ssd migration utility to move windows to the ssd withoug needing to reinstall.
