I have two hard drives, i have data on both i want to keep on both. so how can i move windows from one to the other without deleting anything on both.
 
Solution


Mostly, you can't do that.

1. You can't move "just Windows".

2. Any cloning operation will consume the whole target drive, unless you take real pains with the partitioning.
And even then...it may screw things up.

3. Even if this did work (it won't), any applications will end up not working.

It would depend on, how data is organized on both drives.
Can you post screenshot from Disk Management?

You'd probably need another backup drive as large as biggest of your current ones.
