I'm looking at purchasing an ssd to put my OS on and I have seen guides recommending I use EaseUS todo backup to backup my hardrive, then wipe everything off except the OS, then clone it to the SSD. Finally recover the backup on the hardrive and call it good. I was wondering if it'd be possible to simply install windows 10 onto the ssd and remove it from my hard drive. This way I could, hopefully keep all my games and stuff installed? Is that a possibility or am I going to be stuck reinstalling everything no matter what?
