    Swapped C and D drives where both now have all the operating system files and nothing else


    In prep to upgrade my internal 250GB SSD C drive due to its almost be maxed out for storage. I purchased EaseUS. It was recommended by many. I went to Clone but got an error message. Rather than proceeding I selected Chat. The "expert" said the software shows an error on the D drive 1TB internal hard drive where a partition was invalid or not working. I am now ready to be lambasted by the community because I turned my PC over to him with TeamViewer and he created a 930GB partition on D and named it K. Now, how the following occurred is a complete mystery: The following day I turn o

    Swapping C and D drives

    Hello, I know there are lots of topics about changing C and D drive but none seem to be the exact issue I am having.

    I just got a new laptop for work and I have two SSDs. C drive is 2 TB and the D drive is 1TB. I work within dropbox with very large project files and previously I have only had dropbox files save to the D drive and had the C drive to do everything else. What I want to do is have the 2TB of storage for the D drive and the 1TB of storage for the C drive. Is it possible to to be able to move the default program/start up files to the D drive and then swap drive letters?

    Thanks

    Swap C & D Drive back to SSD & HHD

    I had some issues with updating Windows: Redirecting

    I followed the steps but I noticed that Windows 11 was working really slowly. I looked on Task Manger and it looks like my drives have swapped? Originally my C drive was the SSD and D drive was HDD but now they have swapped so C Drive is HDD and D is SSD.

    How can you swap your drives?

    Swapping C and D drives

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    There is no method in Windows to do this, but you could backup all the files from the D drive, then wipe the D drive and use a 3rd party utility like the free trial version of Macrium Reflect to clone the C drive onto the D drive, then in BIOS, change the boor order so the D drive is the primary boot device, and finally wipe the old C drive so you can use it as a data drive, it is a bog job and it may be best if you have an IT team in your company, get them to do this for you, especially because you use DropBox to sync files.
