“Which Hard Drive is the OS installed to by default? As stated above, is the HDD or SSD the default OS location. I am well aware the SSD makes the most sense, but I have seen several models (demos in stores, not this one in particular) in which the SSD was inexplicably a secondary drive. I have this one order, I would hate to have to reinstall the OS or swap drive day I get it.”

You are doing something completely wrong! Windows can only be installed on NTFS formatted drives. The extra unwritable room on a drive allow room for your OS to move/process information for those that cannot manage their space. Solution, don't max out the SSD = Good running OS. If the 1TB hasn't been formatted that only take 30-90 sec to format a drive which isn't a issue. YouTube can guide you if need be. to null any silly arguments. I have attached some source links below. http://www.howtogeek.com/192718/does-windows-8-have-to-be-installed-on-an-ntfs-partition/ https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3770372?tstart=0
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Answering my own question: the SSD is the OS (C Drive) with no partitions The 1TB HDD is a secondary drive (D Drive) also with no partitions This was an issue for me because this is my 3rd Asus laptop in roughly 6 years, and the previous two had arbitrary partitions that required formatting before use.
