  1. I don't wanna lose my genuine OS while fresh installing in my new SSD from HDD


    I bought a samsung SSD an i want a fresh installation in it. But the problem is that I might lose my Genuine operating system which is currently in my Hard Disk.

    Cloned OS to SSD want to delete old OS on hdd

    Not sure if this was answered(cant find 1) but recently cloned windows 10 from HDD to SSD. My HDD was setup as GPT and the partition was setup with the OS as almost the full 1tb size. I had and currently have alot of used space that i dont wanna lose if
    it can be avoided. The whole cloning process was a pain having to move stuff to the ssd then partition the empty space on hdd the move stuff to the new partition until I had less than 200g with the OS still there so I can clone it onto ssd after cleaning
    it. Os works fine(windows loads sooo much faster) old hdd works fine but wanna get rid of the old os on hdd without deleting anything else? Sorry so long and sadly I merged the partitions back to 1.
