HELP.
I assembled my initial PC using all the latest components except for my old HDD and SSD. Before, I ran Windows 7 on my SSD but during an upgrade, I couldn't connect my keyboard or mouse because my processor wasn't compatible with Windows 7. I made a boot media installation on USB and placed it on my HDD since I couldn't use the SSD. How can I remove Windows 7 from my SSD and install Windows 10 as the boot drive instead of the HDD?
You can utilize your existing PC to transition to Windows 10 using the built-in installation tool. It seems quite handy if you manage to get it set up successfully.
The only solution for the new PC is to clear the SSD and then set up Windows on the blank space.
This approach likely won't succeed. The safest option is a fresh installation of Windows 10 on an SSD. Ensure all crucial data—documents, photos, letters—are backed up before making any major changes to your drive settings. A flash drive would be ideal for storage. Afterward, download the Windows Media Creation Tool onto another flash drive and proceed. It’s straightforward once you follow the prompts.
Thank you for the assistance @fasauceome and @kb5zue. I installed the SSD back into my previous setup and upgraded from there, clearing Windows 10 from the HDD. Appreciate your support!
