    Seagate MOMENTOUS hybrid SSD / HD and fast start


    By default fast start is enabled. But seeing as I have a seagate hybrid drive I wonder if it should be on or off. Some kind of background HD magic works to keep most used data cached on the small 8 GB SSD portion of the 1 TB drive. Not that I notice any ill effects using fast start (it certainly speeds up boot) but wondered if it's wise in a HD setup such as this

    Creating a boot file in a Windows 10 installed SSD.

    Hello there,

    Before the release of Windows 10, I was using a Seagate HD 500gb for my Windows 7 OS. This is the only hard disk I have at the time. When Windows 10 was released, I bought a Kingston 240gb SSD and installed a fresh copy and Windows 7 then downloaded the
    free upgrade to Windows 10.

    I left the Seagate HD in my system along with the Kingston SSD. The Seagate has 3 partitions - one is for the first Windows 7 OS which I did not erase.

    Just today I decided to replace the Seagate 500gb with a Seagate 3TB. After installing the 3TB and starting the system, I just realized that my SSD does not have any boot file. I've been booting my system from the Seagate 500gb all along, not from the SSD.

    How do I create a boot file on the SSD without reinstall Windows again? It's too much of a hassle because I need to reinstall dozens and dozens of programs I need for my work.

    Please help me. Much appreciated. Thank you!

    Fast startup should be fine to have on.
