Remove Windows from hard drive?

The problem is that Windows is currently on an SSD, but I still have two HDDs in my system. Now I want to install the SSD in a new PC that already has Windows installed. How can I clean up the SSD with Windows so that it works smoothly in the new PC?

You simply install the SSD in the new PC, make sure that the PC is booting from the correct disk and then you can simply uninstall the newly built-in SSD by means of the disk management and you are already getting rid of the data

The easiest with a USB Linux Live Bootstick and the Shell/Bash/Terminal Command dd

So you’re clearing everything clean without leaving any remains. MS Windoof cannot correctly delete. If files are to be deleted or directories will only be marked as overwriteable and thus they are no longer visible. You can easily restore them. The dd command under Linux overrides each memory cell of the SSD with zeros or random numbers (depending on) so /zero for the 000len and Random for the random generator for integers

Install and format the new PC.

The new PC continues to boot from its previous record. There should be no confusion. But if you want to make sure that there are no confusion, then boot the old PC with a Linux Live system and format the SSD before.

You have to boot from the right plate.
