Clean install is best.


/e Make sure you unhook the HDD before you do the clean install on the SSD.

Well I'm not answering you. You don't deserve an answer.

You want to help the OP do so. Explain FULLY how to deal with the Windows installer.

Just reinstall windows via clean slate on SSD. Plug in the other hDD after you install windows on the SSD and copy over files. I would reinstall all your software. Cloning images are known to get corrupted or have random issues. I've cloned hundreds of OS and ran into issues before.

Windows should have a file and settings xfer thing built in
clone your os and restore on new drive is good too
Clean install should be last resort
