Deletion of old Windows installation.

Hi,

I reinstalled Windows on my new SSD, and now I have an unneeded Windows 10 on my other drive. How can you delete it? Can you do it without formatting the drive?

Heres what you should do before anything, power off the system, and unplug the old SSD.

Make sure windows Still boots properly.

Then replug in old SSD and just delete the X:\Windows directory along with pagefile.sys and hiberfile.sys if they still exist on the root of X: (They are hidden)

Thanks, I'll do that.
