when install OS with old HDD, the old hdd must be disabled or you must delete the EFI partition, otherwise Windows will just install new OS to SSD but EFI still goes into HDD,
one day if you removed HDD or it went kaput, your lappy will not be able too boot. |

Try this method to de-activate the HDD from booting :-
Method 1 1) Backup all data in HDD to another storage & remove all partitions in it. Then just create a simple & single partition in it. Method 2 1) Open (run as admin) --> CMD 2) Type --> diskpart 3) Type --> select disk 0 or 1 (depends on your HDD is either Disk 0 or Disk 1) 4) Type --> select partition 1 5) Type --> inactive 6) Type --> exit 7) Close --> CMD windows 8) Restart computer. Hope this helps...  |
