Hey friend! Look You really were wrong! Now I bought and use the mSATA SSD 240GB As the main system disk Windows without removing the main system HDD disk. With this laptop model. It turned out to be quite simple, perhaps this advice will help other users. I used the bootable USB Flash Card to install the Win10 system. In the menu for selecting the partition to install, I first deleted the hidden system partitions on the old HDD (Partitions with a capacity of 100 and several hundred megabytes). then I chose an unformatted SSD to install the Windows system, without creating any partitions on it. After successful installation of the system, my new mSATA SSD is recognized as disk 1 with partition C and hidden system partitions, and old HDD as drive 0, with partitions D and E and some unformatted space. please do not give bad advice to users because it really works

Memory (accelerator) cache only unless it is the only storage disk in the laptop. If there is any kind of 2.5 inch disk in the system you will not be able to boot from the mSSD.
