And yes do a fresh install of windows to the SSD, But back everything up first.
How do you set the pins to slave and do that in bios? I have never heard of that before. Also, I did do a fresh install of Windows 10 to the ssd, thats the problem. I have windows on the ssd like I wanted but now the programs on the HDD don't work right.
Both OS's are the same version of Windows 10. I had upgraded from 8.1 to 10 on the HDD way back and I did a fresh install via the iso file on a usb for the SSD. No I did not do a fresh install of steam, it repaired itself somehow and that's part of what confuses me because no other program will do that. Is there any way to fix the registry by importing the one from the HDD to the SSD?
I was trying to find some easier way to do it, but it looks like that way is either nonexistant or too complicated for anyone to explain to me. I've reinstalled the most important ones at this point anyway.
Guide here;
You will have to put the old SSD with the OS back in the system, set it to be the boot partition and then clone it an empty partition on the new SSD. Then you can remove the old SSD and boot from the newly cloned partition while keeping as many finger and toes crossed as you can muster.
Basically you screwed up and would be better off just re-installing all the programs that are on the non-OS partition rather than trying to repair what you've just done.
Steam works because it makes no major changes to the Registry.
Copying the registry files over to the new OS install will reeeaaalllly screw up your OS install. Don't do it.
Thanks, I had heard of this before, but don't have a an external drive to backup my data. Will definately be using this method next time though, didn't realize the way I did it would end up like it did.
Thanks, this is the info I was looking for, for some reason nobody wanted to tell me that I can't import the old registry or why.
In your case it would be better just to reinstall all your programs, or see if the old HDD works as primary then try and clone that again. Either by backing up any data to an external drive, or see if you can create a new partition on the hdd if there is space, then just clone the OS partition.

Any other Windows apps, you must reinstall those, as they will now lack any existance of being known to the OS via the lack of registry entries that occur upon installing something.
Steam all u need is the old Steam.exe and run that as admin; then verify your games and all of Steam + Games will work. Upon running the Steam.exe on a new WinOS will redownload the entire Steam Client Software all into the folder where the Steam.exe resides and is run from.
Now that your OS is fresh, you do have work to do, regarding installing any apps you want, as well as needed Windows Updates, Hardware Drivers (from their sources, not via WU) and much needed plugins that a fresh OS will need, such as (but not limited to) dot-NET Framework, Visual C++ Runtimes and DirectX Runtimes.
Not to mention, configuring your new OS for use with an SSD, such as setting the PageFile to a locked min/max size, ditching the Hibernation file, and disabling SuperFetch and WindowsSearch/Indexing.
