  1. Can I Delete Windows on my HDD after cloning it to my SSD?


    I used the Ease US Partition Tool to clone my Windows 10 OS from my HDD to my SSD. The Old OS is still in my HDD and its just taking up space and I was wondering if I am safely able to delete it? Windows currently boots from my SSD now aswell.

    :)

    Cloning Windows from an HDD to an SSD

    I'm trying to clone my Windows PC. I have a 220GB SSD installed with a 1 TB HDD. What I'm trying to do is clone Windows and leave my documents and Images etc: on the HDD. When setting up the cloning software I have deleted the "Users" folder from the cloning
    operation. I now realise that this means that the user profiles don't get cloned so I can't log on.

    So my question is this, how do I clone the user profiles, there are 6 and access my documents on the HDD when I need too?

    Cloned OS to SSD want to delete old OS on hdd

    Not sure if this was answered(cant find 1) but recently cloned windows 10 from HDD to SSD. My HDD was setup as GPT and the partition was setup with the OS as almost the full 1tb size. I had and currently have alot of used space that i dont wanna lose if
    it can be avoided. The whole cloning process was a pain having to move stuff to the ssd then partition the empty space on hdd the move stuff to the new partition until I had less than 200g with the OS still there so I can clone it onto ssd after cleaning
    it. Os works fine(windows loads sooo much faster) old hdd works fine but wanna get rid of the old os on hdd without deleting anything else? Sorry so long and sadly I merged the partitions back to 1.

    Thank you for your support.
