    Moving only Windows 10 from my 1tb hard drive, to my 120gb SSD


    Hi there, i purchased a 120gb in hopes of migrating windows 10 on to it and booting windows faster, unfortunately, all tutorials i find, require me to use 3rd party apps which all require me to have a 1tb ssd to make the move.


    So my question is, Can i move my copy of Windows 10 onto a smaller SSD, keep my key and use it for my second hard drive, without needing to move everything from my 1TB hard drive onto the 120 GB ssd, and how would i do that?

    :)

    Replacing 120GB SSD with 1 TB HDD

    When I first built my PC, my 120GB SSD C: drive was plenty big enough since I had a 1TB HDD D: drive. Now though I am hitting the limit of my SSD and I want to migrate to a new 1 TB HDD. I cloned and swapped and it booted, but Windows is still only seeing
    120GB of my new 1TB drive. How do I fix this?

    [Win10] How to properly migrate data from 128mb SSD -> 1TB Hard Drive.

    Helllo! I recently got a nice new computer that combines a 128GB SSD drive and a 1TB Hard Drive. I only left the Windows OS and other systems on the SSD, as it has not that much space, and I'm presently migrating some games I accidentally installed on it.

    I'm hoping to move my "Users" folder (Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc) into the 1TB Hard Drive, as they will eventually take up a lot of space, and the SSD has nowhere near enough space to deal with that. Could I move these over to the 1TB with no issues,
    or are there any other ways to send those files to the 1TB?

    Thanks!
