Windows 10: Moving files from c: drive (SSD) to e: drive (hdd)

So i have an ssd with 447gb and a hdd with 595gb as shown below:

I want to move some files into hdd to have more space. But I've heard that it could lose your program files x86 and program files data because the files are written to the os so if you move it it corrupts or something like that. I would like to move as much as i can (including games, not steam games btw, and media) If you want to know which games i have:

- Epic games (3 games installed)

- COD Warzone (Blizzard Launcher)

- Minecraft (but i can just reinstall that)

- Valorant



Is there a way to move them without losing data?

How can I move C: or other drives to a new SSD or HDD in Windows 10?

Hi,

I've a Windows 10 setup with the OS installed on C: (ssd) and program files are seperated among D: (SSD) and E: (HDD). My idea is that, Windows 10 runs on C, which is a good brand SSD; demanding games and programs run on D, and the rest are on E.

Photos, documents etc are on F with Dropbox; I also run OneDrive for C, and G is for system backup.

So here is the summary:

C (SSD) - OS

D (SSD) - Games and programs

E (HDD) - Rest of the programs

F (HDD) - Dropbox (photos, documents etc)

G (HDD) - Windows backups, recovery etc.

So, here is my question:

If in the future, I renew one of these drives, what should I do to avoid a fresh install?

I searched the web but I could not get a clear picture:

- Can I renew my drive C: without using a 3rd party and without having a fresh install? I mean, kind of cloning?

- Can I renew or clone other drives? Will Windows be able to recognize them? I mean, let's say, if (and how) I clone drive F:, will I have to download everything from Dropbox? If I renew D:, will I need to install all those games again?

Thanks you^^

What to move from C drive to D drive

Hi,

I have a laptop with a 118GB SSD C drive and a 920GB HDD D drive. I have only a few megabytes of space left on my C drive so I need to start moving things from my C drive to my D drive to free up space. However, I have no idea what I can move to the D drive.
I already store all of my documents on my D drive so I can't move those. Should I move the program files? Would that slow down my apps on startup?

Many thanks for your help.
