@ Pantz,

If I read your picture right, your David-XXX folders are on D which I assume is a partition on the spinner. To those you move your own folders, but e.g. not the My Documents or My Videos folder on your picture. Just your subfolders within those.

And especially in My Documents, there may be a few program generated folders (e.g. Gimp, Macrium, Format Factory does that). Do not move those.

PS: You guys are tough customers. Can easily wear out an old man. LOL.

Yes WHS you are reading it right..... David XXX Folders are on the D Partition on the spinner.

So i cam move my profile Folders to the David XXX Folders on D Spinner ?

Ans yes WHS did a great job, i even gave him a REP ....

Hello Again, I re-read the post again, maybe i am missing something ?

That's about right. You have to also change the boot order in the BIOS so that the SSD is second in line (the CD/DVD drive should always be first). Else your PC will not find the SSD and boot from the old system.

The user data I would leave on the HDD. From the SSD system, right click on Documents, Music, etc. and INCLUDE those into the respective libraries.

Even better, with your old system still in place, make an independent Data Partition, define a Documents, Music, etc. folder in that new partition and move your stuff there. Then it is not tied to your old system partition which you might want to delete one day anyhow. Then apply the INCLUDE to those folders.

Important: before you create a new partition on the HDD, make sure you have only 3 (or less) primary partitions on the HDD. Check in Disk Management.

I have done the above, i think i should have said user data. the only thing that are in those folders on the SSD, is what Windows installed there, Except in the Documents folder on the SSD, are limited programs i installed for the MB.( MB Software) As of now there is nothing in the DAVID XXXX Folders on the D partition

Hello Again. OK, so everything is OK , I may want to put the David XXX folders on a Different partition, since the D Partition is getting full. just follow previous steps, and put them on a Different, and put all docs, videos. music in the appropriate folders on that partition from now on ?

Thanks
