Boot Drive

[ethanda_man]

My current PC has an adata su800 ssd that I'm using as a boot drive on my gaming PC, but I have a hdd from my previous system that it has windows 10, will my ssd remain as my main boot drive?

mash the select boot drive button on start up and select the ssd just to be sure and uninstall windows from the HD or wipe it

So in theory, your computer will still boot from the SSD, but the best course of action is to wipe the HDD. You can do this by booting to the SSD, then plugging the HDD in (be careful, but it's safe to do). Then when the drive shows up in Windows, you'll want to delete all partitions and create one new large partition, then format said partition and assign a drive letter (usually D:\ for a second drive).

 

This can be done in numerous ways. Within Windows you can use DISKPART (via Command Prompt), or you can use Windows Disk Management. You can also use any number of free or paid third party Partition/HDD management tools.

 

Your BIOS may also be able to specify drive boot preference after both drives are plugged in, but I would wipe the HDD regardless.
