Hello, I have a computer equipped with Windows 10 and a 1TB hard drive and a 15GB SSD. I installed Windows 1
one year ago now, and I'm wondering if the computer is using my SSD as it did before with Windows 8.
I am almost sure that this SSD, when I bought my computer, allowed me to boot Windows on it, so faster, but I wonder if that's still the case. On this SSD, I have files including Boot and Recovery, but their last edit was in 2014, so now I'm wondering if the SSD is really useful
Sincerely

    Hello,
    There’s no reason for your Windows partition to have moved by itself.
    If the Windows folder is still on your SSD, then it is booting correctly from there :)
    Have a great day!

      I do not have a Windows folder on the SSD, but a boot folder, and I am wondering what it is currently used for since it dates back to 2014 and I have changed OS now.
      Sincerely

      On which disk is Windows located? It's the one that will be used at startup.

      It is located on my hard drive, so my SSD is currently completely useless, right?

      On my SSD, I only have the "boot" and "recovery" files from 2014, so I will delete the files from the SSD and install software. Unfortunately, I won't be able to put Windows 10 on this SSD as it is only 15GB, and the current Windows file is 30GB.
      Thank you for your quick help.
      Best regards.
