2 SSD's help.

[phreakwarz]

I have 2 SSD's that I want to use together. One is a 100gb and one is 500gb. I have never used 2 HD;s in 1pc. So how do I set this up? I would like to use the 100gb for windows and the 500 for storage (games).

Put the 100GB one in first, install Windows, then connect the 500GB one. That ensures you'll end up with everything Windows-ish on one drive which makes isolating problems easier as well as upgrades.

If the 500GB drive has never been used before, it will need partitioning. If you're using Win8x/10, then right-click on the Start button and select Disk Management. Create a basic partition on the 500GB, call it what you want, do a quick format and away you go.

Pretty much what MikeyMikec said except dont get scared by "partitioning", not sure if you are but I was when I first heard it.

After installing windows 10 on the 100gb drive

Turn off the computer, install the second drive and boot back up. - Only thing to make sure here is that your boot drive in bios is set to the 100gb drive.

Then boot into windows, you are now going to look for "Disk Management" in the "Computer Management" program.

A quick way to get to this is to press the windows key and then x and you will have a pop up menu, one of the options should be "computer management", select it and then select "Disk Management"

In Disk Management, just right clicking on the drive should give you a bunch of options, one of which should be "new volume", select the options you want and it will partition and format all on its own and you are done.

Same way as with a HDD.

I use to use dukes when I had a normal HD.

I don't know what that is.
