What size is the SSD?
What size is the HDD?
How much total used space is on the current C partition?
SSD is 250gb
HDD is 250gb
and on the C partition i have 102gb open
Is anything currently on the SSD?
If not, this should go easy.
Macrium Reflect
Install it
Run it
Be sure you select ALL the partitions on your C drive.
Click the Go button
When done, power off
Disconnect the HDD
Power up, and verify the SSD is #1 in the BIOS boot order, and remove the HDD from the boot order
Once you have verified it actually boots properly from the SSD, you can wipe the HDD and use it how you wish.
