Ok, I'll make it SIMPLE for you...

Put the SSD in the comp, unhook the HDD. Install Windows to the SSD.
Hook the HDD back up and format or Wipe it.

Even new ppl understand...can't figure out why you don't.

If you are having a bad day...go to General Chat. :/

then install windows
then shut down
then plug hdd back in?

Yeah, lol, unhooking a HDD is so hard. Do you have difficulty with it often? If so, just PM me I can help. :/

You're the one not getting it.

That method works great if you have a drive you dont want to format, that already has windows on it.. And you want to put a stand alone copy on a diff hard drive. THEN it makes sense.

However, There's absolutely no point to do all that extra bullshit, When he plans on just formating the hard drive anyways.

Why the fuck would he go through the effort of opening it, Messing with shit, Installing windows, Opening & messing with shit again, Then formating with a program he has to install..... When all he literally has to do is click 'format' in the windows installer..... It's that fucking simple. The one who doesnt understand is you.


I'm having a great day. Bout to go buy some blankets, lul

We're not talking about us. We're talking about people with limited computer knowledge.

It IS hard when people are afraid of breaking their PC from sticking their hands in it.
