Hello, today I need to set up a brand new PC that I just unpacked; it contains Windows 10. However, it has two hard drives, the first one is 300GB and the second one is 500GB, and the Windows Boot is on the first one. I want to install Windows on the 500GB disk. Nothing allows me to choose which disk to install on. Any solutions? Thanks for your replies.

    Hello,

    When installing Windows 10, you have a page with the various partitions, etc.
    This is from this page where you choose on which partition to install Windows 10.
    You should have disk 0 and disk 1.

    => https://www.malekal.com/wp-content/uploads/Windows10_installation_Partition-1.jpg

    More details on this tutorial that explains how to install Windows 10: how to install Windows 10.

    Note: in your case, it is also possible to clone the disks.
    The goal is to copy the contents of disk 0 to disk 1, so Windows will be copied onto it.

      Thank you for your response. I was actually expecting to see the page you mentioned where I could choose the partition where I would like to install Windows, but it is not present during the installation. Thank you, I will look into cloning.

      But what do you have?
      Where does it go from this page to where?
