Yes, that is correct all partitions need to be deleted.

Hello,
My hard disk is starting to run very slow, so I'd like to boot my PC onto my ssd.
Would it be possible to change the main partition to put it on my ssd?
Thank you for your time

Yes, you can also delete the partitions form Disk 0, but ensure you select Disk 1 to install Windows onto.
