    Question Please help with removing an old hard drive

    I have always made sure to have at least 30gb of space free on my SSD to accommodate my OS. As long I have free space it should be ok, right? If not I am installing a 480gb SSD tomorrow and can move the OS over to that drive if needed.

    I skimped out on storage space like an idiot when I bought my PC, windows only seems to take up around 60gb or space so I assumed my OS would be fine on a small 120gb SSD, is that not the case?
