HDD is used instead of SSD?
Hello everyone, I ordered a Kingston SSD hard drive a while ago and installed it, but my PC recognizes it but doesn't use it. When I go to the task manager, I see that my HDD is constantly at 100% capacity and my SSD is always at 0%. Unfortunately, I have no idea what to do or how to change this. If I press the F11 key when starting up my computer, I get to the settings for my motherboard. The SSD is recognized, but everything runs on the HDD. Can anyone help me? I can send pictures if needed. Thank you in advance.

Your HDD is Drive C:
Which means that your operating system is installed in all programs. Logically, this hard drive is also used primarily.
Just as you’ve installed your SSD at the moment, it’s just running as a storage expansion.
If you want to run all this over your SSD, you need to reinstall Windows completely on it or clon your HDD on the SSD. After that, you need to expand the HDD, because otherwise there can be problems when booting and your PC continues to start over the HDD.
You can also format the HDD after cloning and then use it as an advanced memory
If you haven’t installed anything on the SSD, it won’t be used, it’s logical.
How can I do that? I really have 0 idea
You need to reinstall Windows on the SSD.
