I have a Dell Inspiron 17r se and I've decided to buy a 120gb SSD. I want to use the SSD for windows and programs. I want to keep my HDD and use it for data storage. (my version does not include msata and I don't plan to buy one)
Now this is what I want to do:
- Remove HDD
- Install SSD in the 1st bay
- Clean install windows and drivers with the 2 CDs I got when I bought the laptop
- Close the laptop
- Put the HDD in the 2nd bay
- Start the laptop
- Remove windows and driver files from HDD (I want to keep other files)
But I have some questions:
- Will this proces work?
- I absolutely do not want to lose my files in my HDD, so I'm asking if I handle it as explained above, will I be able to keep my files on the HDD?
Feel free to inform me about problems that could occur, because I'm quite a newby when it's about pc stuff.
Any additional information and help is really appreciated!

You should be able to do it.
The one problem you can come across is the secure boot.
You may have to set it in UEFI.
