Save the changes on the BIOS and reboot the machine.ģ) Mostly the Windows 10 will not boot. In my example, it is the SSD which has Windows 10 on it. In another case, you can disconnect the other all hard disks from the computer and connect the only hard disk where you need to move the system partition.

Even though I booted my computer from Windows 10 (from newly added hard disk), I could not format a particular partition which was created earlier while installing Windows 8.1. But there was a catch when I tried to format the entire first hard drive. Later, I wanted to get rid of Windows 8.1 and its storage to utilize for other purposes. I added new SSD hard drive for Windows 10 and it worked great. I was having my first hard disk with Windows 8.1. Recently I switched to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 Operating System.
Let’s use the Windows utility, provided you have the bootable medium of the OS (in this case, Windows 10) with you. We will not use any free or paid disk management tools for this.
