[Laptop/Help]Install windows 10 with uefi in newly added ssd.
Hi,
I have a MSI GE62 2QD Apache notebook equipped with 1TB HDD and running windows 8.1 core edition in legacy mode. I've recently installed a new m.2 SSD to this system and willing to install windows 10 on new ssd with uefi enabled.
First thing I want to know is the existing HDD is formatted for legacy (MBR) and if I change bios mode from efi firmware to uefi and continue installing windows, still the data on my HDD is accessible through the new uefi enabled o/s in GPT SSD?
Secondly I also want to delete "C" drive entirely in the current HDD as I want my new windows installation on SSD to be in "C" drive. Is this possible in the wizard after changing bios mode to uefi ? I want to make sure that non of my data in other partitions of the HDD is getting deleted.
Thirdly is it oky to have GPT and MBR formatted disks in one system? Will it cause any performance issues later?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
