Hello, I had problems with my hdd (loading times) and I ordered a new ssd on Amazon. I want to keep my hdd as a storage device and use it for stuff that doesn't take long to load. My internet is very slow at the moment and installing games over 20gb takes atleast 1h and I have a lot of games over 60gb. I want to know if I have to wipe my hdd before installing windows 10 on my ssd or is there a way to just uninstall windows from my hdd?

Hello there, no you don't have to wipe the HDD. Just make sure to unplug/disable the HDD, when installing windows 10. After installing windows unto the SSD, you can wipe the boot partion from the HDD.
