Hello everyone,
I recently bought a new SSD and installed Windows 10 on it and also bought a new 1Tb HDD to start fresh. I connected both new hard drives correctly and everything great, up and running. My question is my old HDD that was installed before I bought the NEW SSD and HDD is still not plugged in because I read somewhere on a forum that it could mess up the Windows Configuration on my Boot Drive if both are plugged in.
How do I avoid having difficulties or reset my hard drive before plugging it in?
What will happen if I plug my old HDD in my Mother Board when it already has Windows 10 installed on it?

Thank you all that reply, it is much appreciated.

Just make sure that you have the correct boot order (boot off new SSD drive first) in BIOS, and you'll be fine.
If your system, for some strange reason, decided to boot from the old HDD it won't cause any issues. You'll just need to go into BIOS to fix the boot order and boot again.
