Problem when installing W10 in SSD
Hi.
I'm going to describe inch by inch every single detail of my problem. Thank you everyone for trying to help and please someone like me who is dying about this issue...
1) I have a 1TB HDD with Windows 10 and ALL my precious files.
2) I used to have Windows 7 in there. It was really slow. So then I updated to Windows 10.
3) "Marvelous, it's fast!". However, many devices (BlueTooth, gamepads, etc.) and Windows Update didn't work properly.
4) I contacted Microsoft service. After some research, they asked me to force an 'inplace update'. I did.
5) Now everything works fine. I have my BlueTooth connection, I can share files with my mobile, I can plug in every single USB thing I had here around...
6) ... except the Internet. It's gone. Simple as that. Ethernet into the motherboard doesn't work and neither an extra ehernet card, a WiFi card or a USB-to-Ethernet adaptor.
7) I asked again the Microsoft service and they just asked me to use an anti-malware tool which obviously said everything ruled fine.
8) I decided to do a clean installation of Windows 10, which I assume is what I had to do from the beginning.
9) Since I didn't want to loose all my files, I have bought an SSD.
10) The idea is: install W10 from scratch into the SSD and remain the old HDD as a slave. In other words: OS in SSD; personal files in HDD.
11) I downloaded Media Creation Tool from Microsoft website and created a bootable flash drive.
12) I plugged both the SSD and the USB flash drive and booted the latter. I also unplugged the old HDD.
13) I selected a "CUSTOM" install.
14) In the partition menu, I selected the SDD and pressed "NEXT".
15) Error message as following (Spanish):
Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition
16) Can't go any further.

So, the issue is: What do I have to do in order to...
1) ... install Windows 10 in this new SSD from scratch (clean install)?
2) ... avoid losing files in HDD?
