Hi everyone! I have been using a HDD (Seagate Barracuda 1TB) with Windows 7 on it for a long time. I was looking for an upgrade of both drives and OS so I bought a new SSD (Gigabyte SSD 240GB) and installed Windows 10 on it. My PC booted without any problems. In the whole process, I unplugged the HDD so it would not be affected.
My HDD also worked perfectly fine after I plugged it into the PC.
Currently, the system recognized the SSD as the C: drive and HDD as the E: drive
My questions are:
a) Is there a way to remove the Windows 7 in the old HDD without formatting it? (as there are a lot of important files and games inside there)
b) Is it possible to set the "Users" file to be located inside the E: drive instead of the C: drive so that it is easier to access the downloads and documents in the file explorer, the programs will save their data into the appdata in E: drive instead of C:drive?
To simplify all these, I want to make SSD as the boot drive and HDD as the only storage drive. I'm looking forward to your help. Thank you in advance.
