Hi all, as the title states I have some questions about cloning my HDD to my SSD.
I've never had/used an SSD before and after watching many tutorials on youtube I'm still a little confused how this all works. For the most part I under that, i'm essentially just copying and pasting everything from my HDD to my SSD.
However, I want to my SSD just for my OS(Windows 10) and a few select games such as; Red Dead Redemption 2, Star Citizen, War Thunder just to name a few. Everything else, I want on my HDD.
So my question is, am I able to play games from my HDD while using my SSD, and how exactly does that work? I know when I do the cloning it will copy everything. However, again, I only want to use my SSD for my OS and specific games and programs like stated above.
I'm sure that might be a dumb question but I cannot find any concrete answers.
My HDD is a 1TB Western Digital(WDC WD10EZRX-00D8PB0) - The SSD I got is a Crucial 1TB 2.5 inch BV500
Another question is, would I just be better off using the SSD only instead of trying to use both drives? Atm my HDD only has 36% capacity left and I've read before that you don't exactly want to fill up your SSD so that is where i'm trying to figure out how to use both so I dont have a bunch of stuff on the SSD.
