    replace HD with SSD.

    I want to replace my current HD with SSD in SFFOptiplex 740 running Windows 7 Pro.

    If I mirror the HD does my windows key go with it to the SSD.

    And can I just simply exchange the drives?

    Reformatting SSD and not HD

    Hello there!

    I have an MSI Laptop with a 128gb SSD and a 500gb HD.

    I have windows installed on my SSD and personal files on my HD. But now my SSD is almost full i wish to format it / reinstall windows 10 on it for a fresh start, but without losing the data on my HD.

    I have been using Mac OSX for the past ten and am very out of touch of windows.

    Any suggestions on the best way to do this would be awesome.

    Many thanks.

    Alex

    Commands to view drive type: HD vs SSD Windows displays SSD when drive is HD

    Hard drives listed as SSD drives

    Upgraded to Win 10 Pro from Win 7 Pro.

    Have 2 Hard drives in Raid 1 set up.

    Win 10 lists these drives as SSD drives in System Properties.

    How do I change the listing of these drives to HD so I can optimize them?
