Re: SSD DRIVE
Type disk managment into your taskbar search and click on create and format hard disk partitions.
Your disk should be in there but not formatted or given a drive letter yet. You will need to format it and set up its drive letter etc before you can use it. Format it as NTFS and partition it as you see fit, if its dedicated for dcs you may not want the full 500gb for the game and may want to have it split, its upto you.
Hope that helps.

Re: SSD DRIVE
Are you using a flash drive installer for windows? If so, just disconnect the old drive, change bios to point to the new ssd and install windows. When you reconnect the old drive it will gob off at you about windows not being activated, but you can tell it you are using it as a data store and crack on.
