My newly built PC uses a SSD (Windows 8.1 64bit) as primary drive.
I have also installed a 1TB HDD (which has been removed from another PC to act as a (slave) backup and library for saved folders and files. This was previously used as a primary drive so also has Windows 8.1 installed on it)
Questions:
I have also installed a 1TB HDD (which has been removed from another PC to act as a (slave) backup and library for saved folders and files. This was previously used as a primary drive so also has Windows 8.1 installed on it)
Questions:
- How do I go about safely removing Windows 8.1 in order to clean install the new Windows 10 64 bit OS?
- Can I remove Windows 8.1 from the 1TB HDD drive in a similar way as it is not required on this drive?
