So, i used an hdd for the windows and for storage for about a week, and then when i saw how slow it is, i went out ans bought an ssd. I installed windows on the ssd after unplugging the hdd like alot of google guides told me to, ssd as primary boot device and all of that, and everything is alright now except one thing - the hdd is not being recognized inside windows disk management but is being recognized in the bios. Now, the windows is still installed on the hdd, anybody knows what I need to do? Cause im super confused. Maybe formatting the hdd through bios somehow?

DO NOT FORMAT THE DISK BEFORE YOU BACK IT UP! ALL THE DATA WILL BE ERASED.

it should show up with your ssd and the hard drive for example for me it shows disk 0 is my ssd and disk 1 is my 2tb hdd.  just look at the storage and thats how you can tell which one is which.  it unforntaley wont tell you that one is a ssd and that one is a HDD
