I want to make my ssd set to drive 0 for clean instalation

[Slimshayan]

Keep it in mind it's a laptop, and i don't want to open it up and remove hdd since it's brand new

Is there any way? 

My laptop is lenovo legion 5

Drive numbers are determined by how they are physically connected to the board, you cannot change it without physically moving the drives. (Technically, it depends on the order in which drives are enumerated by windows, but generally that's in turn dependant on the which connector they're on)

 

That said, why do you want it to be drive 0? It doesn't affect how Windows installs or operates, and won't be visible to you outside of drive management interfaces.

ssd was disk 0 before clean instalation, and i want it to be disk 0 because recovery partition will go to drive 0, and my laptop might slow down because of that 

I am fairly sure ssd was drive 0 before installing

I recommend opening it and removing a drive anyways. I hate when windows installs boot sectors on drives it's not supposed to, and even though, it's a rare problem, you don't have to worry about it if you remove your secondary drive and install windows while it's not connected.

 

Sometimes in the BIOS you can disable SATA or M.2 ports, but if your laptop's BIOS doesn't offer that, the only option is to physically disconnect it.

Id just unplug the other drive when installing. THats the easy way to make sure its the only drive during the install.

Is it okay this way? Ssd is still disk 1 but all windows partition are on ssd, should i be worried?

That's how it's meant to work. Windows recovery and EFI partitions get put on the disk selected to install windows with, not to drive 0. That's fine.

 

Here, my OS is on disk 3, works fine.
