But your SSD aleady has Windows on it, so there is no need to reinstall Windows on the SSD.

You're very welcome.

 

That is correct.

 

Apparently as shown in Chapter 1 page 8 of the service manual, dual drive configurations only work with SATA M.2 SSD's and the 2.5" drives.

 

Oh well...you gave it your best shot.
