Hi, today i just got an ssd(367 gb in primary and 100gb in unlocated) to use as secondary drive and use my hdd(1tb, 333gb in use) as primary. i wanted to move the os to the ssd for a faster boot, first i tried with EaseUs and Minitool but they both said i dont have enough space.

now what i want to do is install the os from a usb because people told me its safer and easier, the problem is that i dont know how to proceed, i couldnt find a guide where the person doesnt replace the old drive, i still want to use the hdd and the sdd at the same time


ty in advance
 
Solution
Ok.
Migrate the entirety of the Disk 0 to Disk 1, the SSD>

Only change the steps below is to first DELETE the partitions on the SSD, to make one big space.

-----------------------------
Specific steps for a successful clone operation:
-----------------------------
Verify the actual used space on the current drive is significantly below the size of the new SSD
Download and install Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration, if a Samsung SSD)
Power off
Disconnect ALL drives except the current C and the new SSD
Power up
Run the Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration)
Select ALL the partitions on the existing C drive
Click the 'Clone' button
Wait until it is done
When it finishes, power off
Disconnect ALL...
