Good to know.Also a note for future reference,always keep ~10-15% of total usable space free in a ssd(for a 250gb ssd total usable space is ~232gb),it helps in performance.

i will do a fresh installation of win 10 and office 2010 and some other applications....games will be installed in WD 1 tb...
Don't install the game on WD 1TB if its a Sata drive and not SSD.
Install the game in SSD partition and you will be happy with the performance & loading time :)

Not possible with 200gb of free ssd space(out of which windows needs around 40-50gb) & when major/popular games nowadays are upwards of 50gb.

How old is the laptop,even 5-6 years old laptops have UEFI option.If laptop/system bios is set to legacy mode then format any bootable disk(hdd or ssd) as MBR.
not laptop, desktop. M5A78L-M PLUS is the mobo

cloned only C drive with EASEUS......make the ssd as bootable (which is connected to SATA4....SATA1 being the WD) but system does not boot from SSD asking to insert bootable drive.

What exact settings did you use in Easeus,just cloning C drive is not enough when transferring an OS/making bootable system image.You have to select this Migrate OS to SSD With EaseUS Partition Master - EaseUS
