Eliminate Dual Boot Windows & (Grub2) Install

I know the easy part is elimination of Microsoft Windows.
The Windows System and Boot  files are contained on a mechanical hard drive. Lets call this: HD1
The Artix System is located on an SSD. Lets call this: SSD2

Ive already deleted almost all MS Windows system files except for the "Boot" folder.
Once I delete the Windows "Boot" folder ...
How do you recommend I proceed. Would I need a live ISO image or can I configure this from within my working Artix.
Artix Cinamon dinit

What you want to do is move the Grub bootloader stuff to the SSD, right? in this case you will have to chroot from a live iso image. Artix provides artix-chroot.
It should be as easy as removing that partition completely from the hdd, chroot from live iso, then run grub-install, pointing it to the ssd.
I'll let the guys who know more about this then me direct you through the exact process :)

If you get the Artix UEFI bootloader working you can probably switch between that and the Windows bootloader in your BIOS menu boot priority options, or some title like that, so you can check it's all OK, no need to delete them first.
