You're planning to switch to Windows 10 and consider using an SSD soon. Right now, your system runs Windows 7 on a HDD that holds all your OS, media, and other data. When you install the new OS on the SSD, the W7 files remain on the HDD unless you take specific steps. You won’t have them automatically deleted—you’ll need to remove or migrate them before upgrading. It’s best to back them up first and then proceed with the installation.

unless it seems necessary to move certain important files to an unexpected storage device due to some mysterious circumstance... this occurs occasionally. However, simply turn off all additional drives, set up Windows, and then reinstall the drives once more.

Absolutely, it can be tricky figuring out the correct connections. When many devices are plugged in from various locations, it becomes even more confusing. I’m currently using five of my six slots, but I’m not sure which one is the zero slot. It might help to identify that one first and place the OS drive there.

It depends on how you use your system. If you keep the same OS installed on both drives, switching to an SSD won’t change which OS is running. But if you’re moving to a different OS entirely, you’ll need to reinstall it on the new SSD.
