    I had my windows copied over to my new SSD and now I can't delete the old one


    I went to a computer shop to have my windows copied over to my new SSD card and I saw that one of my drives still has windows on it, even though I'm not using it anymore but it won't let me delete all the files, there's still a few left, it says that I don't have permission to delete them. How do I gain that permission? It's unused memory that's being occupied.

    Replacing old hard drive, need way to copy Windows installation across

    Hey Guys,
    What would be the best way of copying/imaging the entire contents of an old system drive over to a replacement hard disk for the same machine? I need to copy the Windows installations and all other data to the new drive, and then format the old drive to use as a backup.

    Any suggestions? *Smile I had my windows copied over to my new SSD and now I can't delete the old one :)
