Hey guys, So I think I will upgrade to windows 10 when it's out but I have a question. I have a SSD which I have stored windows on then I have a HDD for all my games E.T.C. If I do a clean install of windows 10 will it delete only the stuff that is on the SSD or will it delete what's on my HDD also?

You'll need to format only the system partition.

unless you accidentally install windows on the hdd, it will be left alone.

 

From what I have seen in most cases you can "upgrade" windows rather than reinstalling, and it will just change the system files.

Would rather do it fresh. Plus it get rid of the useless crap that's on the SSD :)
