Wiping hard drive, installing Windows on SSD.

[PrivateSpades]

I'm doing a fresh restart with my computer system, aiming to wipe my hard drive completely and then install the os on my new ssd and boot from that. Any good tips how to wipe the drive?

Thanks.

Install Windows on the SSD, boot from it, then wipe the HDD from Windows Disk Management?

How do I do that through Disk Management?

Once you've booted up into Windows running on the SSD, open up Disk Management, right click on the HDD in the top panel with the list of drives and click "format"

I used Samsung Magician to move my OS to the SSD and wipe the HDD

Rip, samsung Magician doesn't support wiping non-samsung drives, so...
