Windows 10: small internal hardrive

I need to install updates, so I purchased a 1 TB external drive, my internal drive doesn't even have 1gb when stripped of all non essential files. It is a dell inspiron. I have a western digital external drive.


everything is backed up, I have a 16gb usb for any necessary ISO, I'm ready just give the word because this drive is full and apparently not built to accomidate updates.



Do I reinstall windows on to external (usb 3.0) and if so, how?

Any other suggestions?

Transfering files from SSD to Hardrive

I somehow managed to suck up 128GB on my SSD, so I want to move a few unimportant files to my hardrive so that I can only have things like the windowsOS and my games on the SSD and things like pictures, videos, other less important stuff on my hardrive.
I've searched for quite a while but nobody has seemed to really pick on this topic, so I would like to know how I could move SSD files to a internal Hardrive.

Thanks!
