    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.



    Regards,

    Cannot update windows on PC with 32 GB SSD and 1TB HDD

    HDD and SSD issues

    Hello I recently reinstalled Windows 10 via USB due to an annoying virus that wouldn't let me reset my pc or install updates. I picked my D drive (which is usually my SSD as I was thinking I’d get faster speeds so why not) to install the OS on and the
    install went fine but now the issue is my 1TB SSD drive is appearing as a HDD drive and my 128 GB HDD drive is appearing as a SSD. I downloaded a third party app to make sure it the problem wasn't on Windows end and it further confirmed that my HDD drive is
    now SSD and my SSD drive is now HDD. So now I have 1TB of HDD and 128GB of SSD and it should be the other way around. I never post on forums for help because I'm tech savvy enough to be able to use the internet to find solutions to my problems but this is
    the first time the internet had 0 answers for me. This is on a laptop by the way.
