My HDD currently has 1.5 of 1.8TB used up, and I just bought a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD with the hopes of partitioning the section of my computer with my OS, and then cloning it to the SSD, while leaving my media files on the HDD. I understand if I choose to move my games, I will likely have to reinstall them? If I keep my save files, do you think they will load? Or should I leave games with important saves on the HDD? Will that avoid the issue? I know I will likely need a 3rd party program, as I've heard Samsung's migration software is garbage. I'm willing to spend some time on this, and initially I will leave a copy of my OS on the HDD as well until I am certain that I can boot properly from the SSD. I don't know for certain that my PC came with a windows 8 Disk, so I think migration is the best option. Unless perhaps I can install windows 10 on the SSD, and switch my OS? Apparently the XPS 8500 motherboard doesn't support windows 10 though.
Thank you for the help!
