I want to move my Windows Install and data to a faster drive on my sys
Hi all, any help on this would be appreciated, I am not the best with instructions but would benefit from a easy to follow guide for doing this.
I have my Windows currently on the drive that came with my PC, a WDC green 1TB.
I have since obtained a faster Seagate 500GB hard drive.
What i wanted to do was create a 50GB partition on the new HDD and some how get my current windows install and data on to the new drive without having to reinstall all software, etc.
I believe this is achievable but i dont fully understand the process.
I should mention however that my windows back up will not work, it never has, it says that their is some issue, I do have some software that will create a Back Up but i believe i need a system image???
I have 732GB free on the WDC and 465GB free on the Seagate. would all my other files like program files remain on the old hard drive?
Is it just the windows bit that i would be moving over and how would i get the new hdd to recognise that the program files are still elsewhere?
Also how would i get the PC to boot from the new drive?
Is there any benefit in doing this, i believe it can help to have windows on a faster disk?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
PS - hope this is in the right place?
