    Switching ( C: ) Drive 60GB SSD to 500GB HDD Because SSD is full


    Hey
    I have just realized i have almost completely filled my C drive SSD, i only have 4GB left. I have another 500GB HDD that i would like to replace my SSD with. What is the cheapest way to do this without losing any data and keeping my OS?

    P.S. My HDD is currently my ( E: ) Drive but is relatively empty, I can remove the data from it.

    My PC uses Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

    Gavo,

    Welcome to the forums. Use the ssd for os, and put the data on the hdd. Use both drives!

    Also think about removing some programs you rarely if ever use.
