I bought my pc a couple of years ago with 500GB HDD, with windows installed on it. Ive later got another 1TB HDD (D:), and a 120GB SSD (E:). Windows have been running abit late lately, so I was wondering if it was possible to transfer the windows OS to the SSD (E:)? If it is, does anyone have some guides to help me? :)

If and only if your current used space on the current C drive is below 100GB, you can migrate (maybe) from the old drive to the new SSD.

Or...remove enough stuff to get it below 100GB, then migrate everything.

Or...(my usual recommendation) clean install on the new SSD.


But...if the current install has issues (running slowly), with a migration you are just moving the problem to the new drive.
