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

    To clean install Windows on that drive, select the bottom option (Custom: install Windows only), then on the next window, you will need to delete all partitions on the target drive, then when the whole drive is marked as 'Unallocated Space', select that and click 'Next' to begin the installation.
