OK,let me describe my situation clearly.

My SSD Dilemma.

As you can see,I obviously have 2 hard drives,one an SSD and one a HDD.The SSD is pretty much empty besides having Windows 10 on it and the HDD has all the programs and files I want to transfer to the SSD.I searched all over the internet but could not find a solution to my specific situation.

If anyone can help me,that would be great.

Thank you.

P.S.Need more information?Just ask for it.

The files you can transfer. Doc/Music/Video/Pics.
Programs and applications can't be transferred. They need to be reinstalled with the new OS on the SSD.

TBH....I have no clue. It was installed almost a decade ago.And even if I did install it from a DVD,it's probably gone.

Well...you've gotten a decade use out of it.
Either call MS and plead your case, or move on to something else.

Either a new MS Office, or maybe a free alternative like LibreOffice or OpenOffice.
