    Needing to move my copy of Windows 10 to a new HHD


    So here is my situation


    I have 3 HHD


    C Which is my copy of Windows 10

    D Where my games are stored

    E My new 8TB HHD where I want to move my games from D to be stored.



    C is my oldest HHD and it has no space. It has my copy of Windows 10 which was a free upgrade from Windows 8. I do not have a disk.


    What is the easiest way to move my whole C drive to D so I can move my D to E?

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

    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
