Yellow~ I present another question to those out there, so this time its the storage(ssd) and windows 10, the probo here is if i were to do everything as normal (plugging in the ssd to the mobo as you would and sata) and say i do have a windows installation media on my usb (say 3.0) would this all work perfectly? as in windows will be installed onto the ssd? reasons for asking this is because a few videos i watched said that you're going to need a cd drive and i kinda froze when i saw that, many questions going through my head, is this so? am I safe? or not?

You only need a CD drive if you have windows installation media on a CD. You can do it equally fine on a USB stick and it won't change anything (appart from selecting USB instead of CD but thats fairly simple). If you only have an SSD you dont even have to select a drive to install on, so its actually very easy. Basically, press Next/OK/Continue untill it boots into windows, allthough I would change some of the privacy/location tracking bits aswell as the default is a bit to intrusive.
