Product: HP Pavilion 14-bf159TX
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm currently find a new laptop to replace my currently 4 year laptop, and HP Pavilion 14-bf159TX caught my eye since it's the only model I can find in Indonesia that suit my need (i7, 16 gig, dual drive HDD+SSD, lightweight). Regarding the dual drive (1TB HDD and 128GB SSD), I need to place the OS and default Program Files on SSD for performance purpose, is it possible with the WIndows 10 packed with this product? Because AFAIK most OEM OS are pre-installed and pre-configured to run on the HDD (concerning with dual drive products), and moving to SSD drive requires new installation of the OS from scratch which mostly not possible with OEM-packed OS.

I would be surprised if Windows was not already on the SSD.

Here's what the disks of my Pavilion 15 looked like when I got it (1TB HD + 256G SSD):

People are using their precious remaining lifetime to try and help, so it is common courtesy to come back and tell what the solution eventually was even if you found it elsewhere. It is for the benefit of everyone.
