So because of some odd driver issues (swapping from AMD to Nvidia is fun, kids!) and because I should've done it ages ago, I'm moving my OS onto my SSD from my hybrid drive. I wanted to check here to make sure the steps I have planned are correct.
I have 3 drives; an SSD, Hybrid, and HDD.
Currently, the OS and a decent amount of my stuff is on the Hybrid, and I have ample space on the HDD.
The steps I'm going to take are as follows:
1: Uninstall easy to retrieve programs (games, etc) and move Steam install to HDD.
2: Move personal files (photos, music, etc) to HDD
3: Wipe SSD and Hybrid drives
4: Install Windows 10 from disk onto SSD
5: Set SSD as boot drive in BIOS
6: Reinstall drivers automatically with Windows 10
7: Celebrate clean computer and hella fast boot times
Is this the correct procedure? Or are there better/safer options that I should be using?
ALSO something I just remembered, I actually only have a Windows 8 disk. If I install that, will it update back to Windows 10?
