[snert98]

hello folks

 

my laptop just crashed and i want to reinstal windows, i have the choice of instaling it on my 32gb ssd(before used as chace) or on my 500gb hdd and use the ssd as chace again.

 

if i instal on ssd i want to use my hdd with some kind of linkage to store my documents/my pictures (i don't know how yes if someone knows please tell me) also i will instal all my programs on my hdd

 

what is the best option??

 

ty in advance

right remove the hdd from the computer completely install windows on the ssd like you would normally then once thats done plug the hdd in and erase it then it should just show up as a D drive or whatever letter you want to give it and at like a normal storage drive

im not realy able to remove the hdd at the moment because i need to open the whole laptop, and if i do that i will replace it with a ssd(512gb) but i dont have the money, can i not instal windows on the sdd while the hdd is in the system?

theres no problem doing it its just avoiding mistakes thats all coz when installing windows it doesnt give you mich info about the drives so you have to be certain your installing it on the right one
