Hi, 

If you want to make the SSD your primary drive, you need to reinstall Windows and create the primary partition on the SSD. Which Windows operating system am I running?

The problem with re-installing windows is.. It came already installed on my laptop, I have no way to reinstall should I choose to obliterate it and start over. I also have no idea what a partition is. If you're asking what my OS is, it's Windows 8.1.

Thank you for your reply Judal7837 but now I feel like I'm even more lost than when I started, I don't have the "bay" thing you showed in your example. It all looks quite complicated, that's probably just how it seems to me though.

you dont need the bay ... this was only to save information ... you can remove this step and make the other

So if I'm gathering this right, I need to create a recovery USB and then use it to reinstall windows without the hard-drive being in the computer?

yes, you are right. make the usb recovery with alienware respawn. shut down your lap, disconnect the HDD and only connect the m.2 SSD

Alright, I'll give it a try and see what comes of it.

Oh, another question, I have to uninstall Windows 8.1 to do all this right?

lol nope... alienware respawn work with w10 too.
