  1. Move Windows 10 from a laptop hdd to a new sdd drive


    Hello.I have recently bought an ssd drive of 240Gb to install into my old Dell Inspiron 15r which currently has a 1Tb hdd and wish to use the sdd drive as the boot drive and to hold a few important programs and the hdd drive for holding all the other applications and any new ones. Because the ssd drive is much smaller than the hdd I cannot just simply transfer everything over so I'm looking for a simple, free method to move Windows 10 which has been constantly updated since I bought the laptop containing, I think, originally Windows 8 maybe from the hdd to the ssd. Can anyone suggest how

    :)

  2. SDD and a HDD windows 10

    I have Windows 10 installed on a 525gb SDD. I have a 1tb HDD that I'm using for my data. I've been reading a lot of conflicting tweaks to use on the SDD. Help!

    1. Should I eliminate the swap on the SDD? I do a have a windows managed swap file on the HDD.

    2. Should I turn off indexing on the SDD?

    3. Should I turn off system restore on the SDD?

    Most of the articles I've been reading have been a couple of years old. I know that the current SDDs are better but do these same tweaks apply now?

    Any info and suggestions are appreciated.

    Thanks
