  1. Change C drive


    I have two SSDs installed internally in my desktop. The C: drive is 500GB and the additional D: drive is 2TB. I would like to transfer everything to the D drive, making it my boot C: drive. Everything that I have stored fits on the 500GB SSD so I know that I should be able to clone it onto the 2TB drive but how I do that and what I do to the 500GB drive to keep it from booting from the old one instead of the new one, I am not sure about either. I want to keep both in the machine.

    :)
