I was preparing my new workstation PC, MoBo: Gigabyte x470 Aorus gaming 7 Wi-Fi. Processor: Ryzen 7 2700X RAM: XPG 16 GB Graphics Card: AMD Firepro W7000 HDD: Toshiba 3TB SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 250GB I planned to install Windows on my SSD and use the 3TB HDD as a backup. However, during installation I couldn't complete the partition without needing a 730GB unallocated space. Some online discussions suggested using software to convert from MBR to GTP, which let me access that extra space but removed a reserved 500MB area. This caused Windows to fail to load when I restarted. Can I still run Windows on my SSD with the 3TB HDD as a secondary drive? Thanks ahead.
