    How do you change your Primary Drive C: Drive to make other Drives your new Main one?


    Greetings, I recently bought 3 new Storage Disk with me due to my infinitesimal C: Drive. One being an SSD with a storage of 2TB, while the rest are HDDs with a storage of 10T. How do I swap on either of the three to the Primary Drive or Main Drive I have? I'm running low on space at it, it's causing me download problem and such.

    :)

    Changing the primary drive.

    Hi,

    Changing the primary drive from SSD to HDD is possible by changing the path location of each drive. Since all apps are being downloaded on the C drive by default, you need to change the HDD to C drive to have all the apps in the hard drive. These type of
    changes need a technician to assist you to avoid risks and conflicts. We suggest contacting your device manufacturer directly for assistance to perform the said changes.

    As for the files, after setting your HDD to C drive, you can create a new folder to store all the music you want in it.

    Let us know if you need anything else. We're here to help.

    New primary drive

    Most new retail hard drives include software and instructions for moving the entire contents of your old hard drive to the new hard drive. You can also find the instructions on the hard drive manufacturer's website, and their technical support will help
    you because this is the most common reason for buying a new hard drive.

    In a nutshell, you will be backing up your hard drive and restoring it to the new hard drive. The type of backup you will make is called an image, which includes everything on the drive. Essentially, your computer goes to sleep on one drive and
    wakes up on another drive. Everything is exactly the same, only on a new hard drive.

    A hard drive is not primary - a partition is primary. A primary partition is a type of partition that can hold a bootable operating system. The term only applies to the older Master Boot Record method of organizing a hard drive. For the newer GUID Partition
    Table method, every partition is a primary partition, so the term loses its meaning.
