Hi There!

 

Here is my scenario:

 

-I have a HP Laptop with Windows 7 Professional installed, in addition to a Samsung 850 EVO SSD. 

- I just purchased an Hp 8200 SFF Desktop with Windows 10 and a 2tb HDD

 

I have purchased the proper mount to install the SSD in the desktop, an have a SATA cable for potential data transfer. My question is, what is the best way to setup my SSD as the main drive on the new desktop while keeping my current configuration? In addition, how do I set up the 2tb hard drive ONLY for storage.

 

*Note - I cannot install Windows 10 in my laptop because my graphics card does not support it.

 

Thanks in advance!
