Don't care about the files? Boot from a windows bootable USB drive and nuke both drives, and install windows on the SSD.

1) move everything you want to keep onto HDD

2) unplug everything except SSD

3) clean install windows, make sure to delete all the partitions https://www.howtogeek.com/224342/how-to-clean-install-windows-10/

4) after installing windows and all your programs and updates, turn the PC off and plug in the HDD.

5) go to your BIOS and make sure your SSD is the only thing on the boot priority list

6) boot into windows, it should be booted to your SSD which you just clean installed

7) move the files+documents you want to keep from the HDD to the SSD

8) go to disk management and delete all the partitions on the HDD, then right click and create a "new simple volume"

9) now you can move any files you want back to the clean HDD

10) you're done.

Well that last resort as installing everything back would take days I do have a question can I back up my games to my portable hdd or do I have to  just redwoods them I'll probably nuke my folders later as my pc is full of trash files

Yes it does, at this screen.

It's still better to remove all other drives except the OS drive when installing.

Can you restart and select SSD as your boot device?

Can you truly back up games ?

Depends on the game.

If it was installed through a launcher such as steam or battlenet or something then you can move the game, just not the launcher.
