Windows 10: How to link or sync One Drive to SSD and HDD so that all files correspond and don't...

Hi I have a bit of a problem. Initially when I set up my PC, my SD was intended for program installations and such and my HDD hard drive for all my data to be saved such as pictures. Documents etc. Recently, I set up my One Drive but I have 2, my business and my personal. My Asus laptop is used for personal and business but I have more space on my business account so I decided to use that one to upload my files to the cloud, however my One Drive is on my SSD so when I started the backup, a whole problem began and I don't know what to do or how to resolve this issue. My pictures are all mixed u

OS on new SSD, keep existing data on HDD and use as external drive

Hi,

use steps you suggested, there should be no problem.

Just replace HDD with SSD first then run installation. Do not forget to remove Windows files from HDD after the end of a process.

 

Install of Win 10 from old HDD to new SSD

My PC has a WD 1 T HDD as the primary drive with Win 10 installed. There is also an 2nd older WD HDD for data storage purposes if ever needed - unlikely.

I recently bought a new 500 GB SSD drive. I would like to install my WIN 10 on the new SSD using it as the primary drive.

To install on the new SSD, would I unplug the WD 1 T HDD and install the new SSD drive on the MB and then install Win 10 on the SSD.

After the above, I assume I then reconnect The WD 1 T HDD. With the OS on the New SSD, will the apps and programs that are on the WD HDD operate or will I have to reinstall them on the new SSD As well how do I delete Win 10 from the HDD - do I simply delete the files or delete the partitions or just don’t bother. The WD HDD a was not even close to being full and was bought for faster access.

Any suggestions on how to get the new SSD to work properly and windows off the old WD HDD so it does not interfere with the new SSD would be appreciated.

 

How to safely transfer files / software to a new storage (drive D - HDD) drive then delete from previous storage drive (drive C - SSD)

Hi Everyone,

This may be an old question, but I could not find any accurate answers for this.

I saw some step-by-step guides saying how to move files / software from SSD to HDD but did not ever mention if it can save space on drive C. (drive C - SSD & drive D - HDD just for example)

Step-by-step

Option #1 moving files using location through Microsoft. (Example - under properties on such software, click location then edit the new location pathway.

Option #2 using command Robocopy and Mklink

Option #3 using copy and paste.

If not mistaken, this only clone or create a copy to a new storage.

So, I am planning to move files / software to my new HDD so I can save space to my SSD.

Aside from uninstalling which can be quite tedious.

Is there a safe way and tested 100% working afterwards?

Mucha appreciated your response.
