Hello,

how can we remove only Windows 10 from a secondary HDD without losing its data?
I have reinstalled Windows 10 on my SSD, but I would like to remove W10 from the secondary HDD without losing my data.

Thank you.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 64.0

    Hello,

    Before deleting it, you need to log into the SDD and search through the user folder on the HDD to move your files to the SDD. Then, you just need to completely format the HDD to have it clean for simple storage of your documents.

      Ayaa, I admit I have too much stuff to move to my SSD which is only 240GB unfortunately :(
      I can't just delete the Windows partitions?

        Deleting a partition makes it unallocated, and to make it reappear, it must be formatted.
