    Move OS to Different Drive?


    Hi, I recently got a 32GB SSD thinking it would be enough for my OS, but after almost 2 months its full. I would like to purchase a larger SSD and move the OS, but I don't know if that is possible. Is it possible to move my OS onto a new drive, and if so how would I do it? Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Sure, that is no problem. See details here: SSD - Install and Transfer the Operating System

    If you are not a computer Wiz, get the Paragon Migration Tool (link in the tutorial). That does the job with 3 clicks.
