Hey Everyone!

So currently i have my desktop running Windows 7 on a 60g SSD. However i wasn't very smart and added other programs on so now there's little to no space left (around 2g). I saw the Windows 10 64bit upgrade takes 20g which means i have no more room. However i have a clean 120g SSD as well that i want to use.

So my questions are can i install windows 10 on the 120g SSD while windows 7 is on the 60g SSD, then more over my programs to that 120g drive? Will the installation remove windows 7 on my 60g? Or should i move everything on my current 60g SSD to the 120g SSD, then install Windows 10?

Clone the 60 to the 120gb. then update to Windows 10. Windows 10 has to update an existing Windows version.. then move...


Clone the 60 to the 120gb. then update to Windows 10. Windows 10 has to update an existing Windows version.. then move everything you want off of the 120gb to the 60 or an HDD..

NOTE.... once you upgrade your existing windows version you can clean install windows 10 to whatever you what. JUST MAKE SURE YOU BACKED UP EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO SAVE... a clean install wipes the hard drive clean..... then you can put just Windows 10 on whatever drive you want and split up your storage as you see fit.
