  1. Should I buy another version of Windows 10 for my new Hybrid HDD?


    Hi guys. I just got a new Hybrid HDD It's got a bit of an SSD on it as well as HDD; mostly HDD, it's for gaming. Anyway that's not the point. The point is I have been trying to make enough space on my 2 TB HDD so that I can clone it onto my 1TB Hybrid HDD so that I can run Windows on the new HDD. But I cannot delete Program files x86 I have tried going into security and giving myself permissions galore, I can't delete some common files either to make more room for this switch over to my new Hybrid HDD. Whenever I try and delete a simple file in Programs x86 eve with full control, I get a message saying that the program is running in another program in my computer even when I open TM and execute all of it's processes. So I am getting a headache. I have the money to just buy another copy and just install a new windows onto the new Hybrid HDD and then transfer the files I need over to my storage drive. Then I would just wipe the old one clean and use that for storage. That's my idea anyway. What do you guys think? Any ideas would be helpful! Thanks!

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    How to change Windows 10 OS from 500 Gb HDD to 1TB SSHD (hybrid driver)

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per the issue description you are willing to move your Windows 10 OS from 500 Gb HDD to 1TB SSHD (hybrid driver).

    I want to inform you that if you will move the OS from 500 Gb HDD to 1TB SSHD (hybrid driver) then there might be a chance that you will face activation issue. If you have the product key for Windows 10 then you may go ahead. Otherwise you might need to
    get in touch with the manufacturer for the confirmation of the same.

    However, you may follow the steps provided by Andre Da Costa in the thread mentioned below. Though the thread deals with Windows 8 but steps holds good for Windows 10 too.

    Moving Windows 8 to an SSD


    Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.
