So i have a 250gb ssd on the way and i currently have a 1tb hard drive filled to the brim with games and whatnot.

What i want to do is install windows and maybe some most played games on the ssd and then have other games and everything else on hard drive, my internet is very slow but i'm guessing when i get the ssd i unplug the hdd and then attach ssd, install windows 10 on it (which will use internet?) and then when its installed i reconnect the hdd.

i'm wondering if i have to re-download everything on the hdd to be able to use it or if i just have to reinstall it (not use internet), also are there any more steps other than what i have mentioned for example do i have to do anything in bios before installing the ssd and also how do i set it up to do what i wanted (os and some games in ssd and the rest in hdd)?

thanks in advance for any help

You will have to reinstall all your old games and programs for them to work with your new Windows installation. In the BIOS, you will have to change you boot drive to the SSD so it boots from that instead of your HDD.

Sorry just to clarify, by reinstall you mean re-download or just reinstall them meaning no internet required, also do i need to change the bios setting before or after i install the ssd?
