I just got a new Dell Inspiron 5675. Was going to build a pc but saw specs and pricing on this and thought it was a pretty good deal.
Computer has Windows 10 Home...Ryzen 7 1700...AMD 580...16GB RAM and 1 TB HDD.
I installed a 250 GB 960 EVO SSD to use for OS and programs. Using Samsung Data Migration, I cloned the HDD. Opted for this since HDD is new and thought this was easier than a clean install for keeping drivers, etc. It does have some Dell stuff on it but I figured that may be useful for a while under my warranty.
Using Disk Management, I brought the SSD online and it was labled as Drive E:. I want to swap the drive letters between C and E then make the SSD (now C my boot drive. I removed E from the SSD so it would be available.
When I try to rename the C: drive to E: I get a message that "the parameter is incorrect". I found a video online that suggested moving the paging file to another drive but only the current C: drive is available.
I am not sure if I've done something completely wrong in my setup so far or if I simply need to remove the paging file from the HDD and continue renaming drives to change my boot drive.
Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.
