Hello! (sorry if my english is not the best)
So i just bought an m.2 ssd. Currently i have an hdd with windows and progams in it. I want to install windows on the ssd and use the hdd just for storage. i've seen some videos and they ask for me to have a pendrive, wich i dont have.
How do i do this?

Hi:
if the SSD is about the same storage capacity as the hard drive, you can install the SSD and clone the hard drive's contents to the SSD.
You can use free disk cloning software such as Macrium Reflect for to clone the disk.
The version you want is on the left side of the page under the Backup at Home section.

Do you ONLY need Windows or everything from HDD ?
(a) Only Windows: You can download ISO file from the following source and do a fresh installation on new M.2 drive

(b) Everything: Please use the easiest way
