I have a new Acer Aspire E5-575G-728Q with a 256 GB SSD primary HD running Win 10 and a 1 TB secondary HD. I have an older Acer Aspire AS7750G-9810 running Win 7 that has a 1 TB SSD but the computer is defective. I want to take the 1 TB SSD and replace the seconday 1 TB HD in the new computer so I can use it and its much faster speed and all the stored data on it but it has an active partition under Win 7. Will it work? Can I delete all the Win & program files on it and still see my data files? Anyway to convert it to a secondary HD without losing Data?
 
Solution
you should be able to just put it in and delete the windows directory
You could also move all your data from My Documents (\user\yourname\documents & \desktop , music , pictures etc
You could also delete all of the program files directories
same goes for any driver directory if you have one
