  1. Migrating OS from 2tb HDD to 256 GB SSD


    Hi, I am trying to upgrade my sons system to an SSD from a HDD. I need to Migrate from 2TB HDD almost full to 256GB SSD while keeping settings and installed apps I can relocate the paths of most of his installed data, steams games, to the old drive once the new drive has the OS migrated without all the other random data he has accumulated. I don't want to reinstall all his games and software as this would take days/weeks to download and install. His current OS works fantastic except for the access speed loading speed and boot time.

    :)

    64Gb SSD for OS or 2Tb HDD for storage ?!

    I suggest that you get the 2tb for storage. SSDs are only useful if you want to boot things fast like OS and programs. I actually suggest you get both if you have that many movies.

    I have a 1 TB HDD whit Win 10 home. Yesterday i bought a new 500 Gb SSD and I would know how i can migrate only mine OS and not all my file. Is it possible? how i can do it? A friend told me i can install windows 10 from the Microsoft site for free, and
