You cannot move it to your SSD. You have to install it on the drive you want it to be on.

I reset my PC and windows installed to my hdd how do I move Windows to my SSD

I have an Anet A8 as my project printer and a i3 MK3 for when I want things to work.

It would take a some significant effort to move.

 

Unplug your HDD when installing so you don't accidentally select it. Once its on your SSD, format the HDD to wipe it.

Depends on where you bought Windows. If it is a physical copy, it will be on envelope with the disk in it.
