I re-installed Windows 10 onto a new SSD and am having a few issues with Booting into Windows. - I now have my old and new HDD's still in the machine with windows still installed on both, which seems to be confusing the boot sequence and either loops seemingly rebooting or tells me I need to repair. The only way I can get around this is by disabling all boot options, and manually selecting the Windwos Boot manager in BIOS to boot from (which is located on the old HDD). So, my question is - because the MBR appears to be on the old HDD if I format the old HDD completely will it ruin my ability to boot into the new OS or will the new SSD just default onto it's own Boot manager?

Rexxed posted:In this case I'd try https://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ free version first. It will let you look at where your bootloader is and what entries it has as well as change them. I have a Windows 7 and 10 dual boot on my laptop and initially windows 10 ate the bootloader of 7 when I first installed it. If the bootloader is on the disk you want it to be on, unplug the other disk and boot up to simulate what formatting it will be like. If things are fine with it unplugged, you can wipe it or just set the disk you want to be the bootdisk with EasyBCD. With my setup I have it boot Windows 7 by default but I added a 10 second delay so I can pick Windows 10 if I want to. Thanks Rexxed, perfect!
