Hi, I have a partial os loaded on my solid state and the full OS loaded, and working, on the HDD. I had problems with loading the OS on the solid state drive. It wasn't the drive, it was the "nut" behind the keyboard. Anyway, I put the os on the HDD but now I would like to clean the SSD and move what's on the HDD to the SSD. Can I do that? Reason is because when my son plays ARK Survival, as soon as he downloads mods, the game crashes. Yesterday I took out all the non-essential stuff that was downloaded with the GTX 960 disk. He removed some mods and it did ok but the FPS went from 60 to 22.

During the OS install, you can wipe all existing partitions.
When it asks 'where' to install to, select Custom.
You will see all the existing partitions.
Select each one, Delete. Leaving one large space.
Create a single partition with that, and let Windows create what it needs.

1. If you remove the SSD, does the system work 100% fine with just the HDD?
2. How large is the SSD?
3. How much total used space is on the current C drive?

Given that description, I'd consider starting over with a full OS install on the SSD.

How would I go about unpartitioning and deleting the ssd and hdd before re-installing?
