Files don't show

[PCN00B123]

Right so I purchased an Kingston 120GB SSD and installed it without a problem.
I wanted to put my OS on the SSD and boot from it. So I downloaded windows 10 from microsoft.com and put it on my USB drive. Booted from the USB drive and installed windows 10 to my SSD. I can now successfully boot from my SSD.
But there's a problem. Whenever I boot from my ssd non of my HDD files are there. But when I boot back from the HDD everything is back to the way it was.

Is there any way of getting the files when I boot from my SSD? It's like there's two separate windows 10 on my ssd and hdd.
Anyone know what to do?

Thank you in advance 😀

Hey there, PCN00B123!

I'd recommend you to backup your data from the HDD on an external while booted into it. Once you have your data safe and sound transferred elsewhere, you can boot back into the SSD and reformat the HDD through Disk Management. This would erase all the files including the OS on it. Once it's reformatted, you should be able to access through File Explorer and transfer all the data back to it from the external storage.
You simply don't need the same installation of the OS on the HDD as well, because this might end up causing you some booting issues and probably an OS confusion.

Give this a try and let me know how it goes! Good luck!

Thank you very much for reply. Once I get an external Hard drive I will try this and let you know how it goes 😀
