My question if someone can help me is this. In my computer I have 3 hard drives. 1 ssd for windows 7 and main programs that require speed and such. My second drive and third drive a just regular mechanical.
My second drive is where I store other running programs that dont get used much along with pictures music my documents whatever. It's all linked in to windows user file. I do this to not clutter up the c drive.
Hope you're still with me lol. Ok I want to upgrade my second drive (the d drive) to a 2 tb drive. My question is can I clone my current d drive to the new one shut off the computer swap them out and have absolutely no change or interference with the operating system? I'm worried about the naming issue of the drive messing up during the first boot and breaking links and shortcuts and whatnot.
I'm assuming cloning this disk is the best way to achieve what im asking. But just looking for advice if there is anything wrong with this idea or anyone with experience.
Thanks
