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

    No, sorry, it is the window you see after you click the 'Custom: Install Windows only' button, you are doing this by booting from the USB and not from inside Windows?

    Oh, no sorry i didn't start the operation, i'm still backing up my files, it was just a screenshot from the net.

    I'll let you know when I'm at the window you requested.

    I will be logging off for the night soon, it is very late here, but when you reach the window that shows the partitions on the drive, ensure you delete the partitions from the correct drive and not from the bootable USB.
