how to install windows 10 on hybrid disk

[hpenvy1]

Hi HP support forum,

My Hp pc has 1000gb hdd + 16 ssd and that is what i call a hybrid, hope im right about this. I have just purchased a orginal microsoft windows 10 home 64 bit version, and i thought i could just go ahead as i used to with windows 7 install on my old laptop. The thing is i deleted everything during the attempt to install windows 10, and i havent made recovery disk or recieved them when i purchased the pc, and i thought that the install itself, would figure out how the hybrid should be partitioned, but the windows 10 installed itself on disk 1 the 14,90 gb , and then the 931,51 gb hdd was unallocated in disk management. Am i right about that the windows 10 should be installed on disk 0 - the harddrive with 931,51 gb space ? and if im right, how do i make that happen, and also benfit from the 16 gb ssd ?

hope to get some help.

best regards

Almost sounds like this hybrid disk is acting like two different disks.  One for the SSD part of it and the other for the 1TB HDD part.  I would install to the HDD part and see if there is software on the drivers and support section of HPs site that can set up the SSD as a sort of cacheing partition for slightly better preformance.

Hi Dudefoxlive,

Thank you for responding. Do you think i should try with the Intel Rapid Storage Technology-driver (AHCI) or  Intel Rapid Storage Technology-driver (RAID) for that ?? i cant figure out what to do by searching google

You can give it a try but i feel like there might be something that we are missing from the equation.  Is this the stock hard drive that came preinstalled in the machine or was this one that you or someone else installed in the machine?
