    Okay, It was easy, because you know how. If I can remember it, I'll know how to do it again too. That's what I needed some hand holding.

    Excellent, Excellent, Excellent

    Now when you`re ready you use the same technique and drop down menu to delete the hard drive when you`re ready.

    Get some rest, have a good nite, talk to you tomorrow, Great job

    Rep given for following instructions

    Sounds good. I think the old HDD can be deleted. But again, do you mean just delete or wipe clean. You know what you mean maybe I don't. I so much appreciate your help. Good night. Thanks again.

    We are gonna delete all the partitions (except the Recovery partition) down to un allocated space. Then we will create 2 Primary partitions for storage.

    If Greg says the Recovery partition is now useless, we will get rid of that too, no rush.

    We will await his answer.

    Yes, I already said Recovery will not work without the OS partition, and provided the steps with illustrated tutorials for him to use at his leisure to do whatever he wants to do.

    With all that space there is no reason to rush, so he should take all the time needed to make sure everything is backed up first.

    I'm still waiting to hear if the boot times improved to know if he even has an SSD install he should keep. So for the fifth time: did boot times improve when you unplugged the HD because if so then it should be wiped of boot code using Diskpart Clean Command ?
