    Changing installation of windows from a HDD Drive current unit C to a SSD Drive current unit E


    Hi,I recently bought a Lenovo P360 desktop computer. The computer comes with three drives:- HDD 4 Tb unit C- HDD 2 Tb unit D- SSD 1 Tb unit EFor some reason, in Lenovo they decided to install Windows 11 in the HDD drive of 4 Tb, and make such drive the unit C of my computer. In order to improve the performance of the computer, I would like to reinstall Windows 11 in the SSD drive , while deleting the installation from the HDD 4 Tb drive. Could you let me know which steps I need to follow in order to have Windows installed in the SSD?For info, I have already created a USB recovery from t

  2. Installing Windows on my new C drive

    Current Situation: My C Disk is cramming up and I decided to change a new C disk.

    Currently my computer storage is composed of an SSD (being my C disk) and an HDD. I bought a new SSD and desire to somehow transfer my current system into the new SSD along with the current environmental variables, user data, both program files folder, and
    various other folders instead of installing a brand new system on my new C drive.

    Questions I am currently wondering:

    1. I noticed the function provided by windows called "Create a system image". Currently my softwares are distributed evenly in my C drive (SSD) and D drive (HDD). I am not changing my HDD, so softwares installed there will not be removed. If I only choose
      to backup my system in my C drive, can I still run my softwares on my HDD after changing a C drive and reinstalling Windows using the generated ISO file?
    2. Does this function "create a system image" pack up the environmental variables, registry, along with all other folders in my C drive, or only the minimal system?
    3. If I extract the system image ISO into my new C drive, can I somehow "extract" from the ISO file to create a new system in my new drive? If not, is it possible to make my new C drive a windows Boot USB, and directly installing the windows system onto itself?
    4. What is your suggested method of making this move?

    Thank you for your help!!

  3. Windows detects SSD drive as HDD

    Hello, i have three disks in my PC

    C: M.2 1TB SSD (windows drive)

    D: 1TB HDD

    E: M.2 1TB SSD

    i freshly installed windows 11 pro, in task manager the only disk showing up as a SSD is my windows drive. the two other drives as HDD

    i unplugged my HDD and formatted my E: disk again. then with only SSD drives running both shows up as SSD and it works, but as soon as i plugged the HDD back in and formatted it again, my E: (SSD) changed to HDD.

    i have also benchmarked the Write speeds and my E: caps at the same speed as my HDD (260mb/s~) and it supposed to be at 3500 mb/s
