Windows NOT on C drive post migration to SSD

[samuelp]

After migrating my Windows 7 64bit partition to my new SSD I have noticed that updates are being made to my old windows directory which is now the F drive. The migration was done a few months ago. I used easeus backup for the migration but something must have gone wrong.

I checked %windir% and %Systemroot% and both of these point to the F drive.

However, the program files directories is on the C drive. This was confirmed by checking the %programfiles% path.

How do I resolve this please?

Sometimes Windows is a bit too "intelligent" in keeping track of itself. The only read success I've had resulted from installing the C: drive first with no other drives attached then installing the OS. After that works with all the needed drivers installed I then attach the second HDD. It also lessens the chance of data files being inadvertently lost but better if the second drive is clean. There's still a chance the bootup will need a choice made as to which drive to use.

After migration you must disconnect the original drive before booting to the SSD. You can then reconnect it.

Why have you kept the old Win7 you cloned or imaged to new SSD?
