The SSD should be seen in the BIOS.

If you install Windows 7 on the SSD then it may create a boot menu with both Windows 7 and 10.

After you add the SSD boot the computer see what boots up. If it is Windows 10 on the HDD then you can modify the boot to add Windows 7 on the SSD. I added Windows 7 with a program called EasyBCD. With EasyBCD I can make either Windows 7 or Windows 10 the default O/S.



I have a computer with 3 drives:
DRV1: Samsung 870 EVO (1TB 2.5" SATA SSD) Windows 10 Pro
DRV2: Samsung 870 EVO (1TB 2.5" SATA SSD) Data
DRV3: Samsung 870 EVO (1TB 2.5" SATA SSD) Windows 7 Home

When I boot the computer there is a boot menu:



I can select to boot into either Windows 7 or 10. However, if I do nothing then the default Windows 10 will boot after 30 seconds.

As in a post reply before I e installed the SSD & pc boots to windows 10

I spent quite a few hours now getting it how I require.

Maybe you can advise.

I was told to deleted the reserved mentioned item but then told to leave it alone ?

So do I delete or leave alone.

I’m sure it only appeared when I installed the SSD so would that indicate it’s reserved for the SSD when it was in my other pc.

If so I assume the HDD has its own reserved piece this this not needed.

I’m not 100% sure but if not needed I can gain that extra storage
