For how much I search for how to do this, I just keep finding different methods and can't seem to figure it out.
I currently have a
- 320GB 7200rpm HDD with Windows 10 Pro (upgraded from Windows 7 Pro) installed along with some other random files and games.
-1 TB 5400rpm HDD with pure games and programs
What I am planning on doing is buying an SSD (this one in particular https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F9G43WU/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER or just a 250gb WD one)
I want to transfer my Windows 10 over to my SSD and make it my boot drive. I also want to delete all windows stuff from my 320gb hard drive to clear more space.
I've seen things like unplug all Drives except the SSD and install windows then, except I am always confused as to how to install windows. Is it with this tool? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 .. If it is, wouldn't you need a massive USB to put it on to fit windows 10 all on it? (as the biggest USB i have is 16gb)
I know what I am doing as I have installed windows 7 pro off of an install disc but this just seems to stump me.
I feel like I am probably overthinking this and it is actually really simple. I just want to know 100% what I am doing before i go and try reinstalling windows.
