"Synching" file from HDD to SSD

[tyrus.miles]

I purchased an SSD (previously had HDD) to have windows 10 and a couple of games on it. I have windows installed on the drive now, but the problem is the old HDD I have paired with it. How can I get the old files (documents, games) to "work" with the new computer. For example, when I search up the files from the old drive, nothing comes up.

can you show us a screenshot of your disk manager (press "win+xk")?

when you say "search" you mean you were typing on the windows explorer search bar? try right clicking on your hard drive and go to properties. and uncheck "allow files to have contents indexed...". windows indexing usually gives more confusion on search results than benefits.

thanks for the screenshot.

you could have problems with windows permissions issue with your old hdd since it was installed with your previous windows account. try the following.

right click on your hdd. security tab. make sure the "group usernames" list have the following and remove anything not in the list.

you can also delete the partitions (d: system and the health partitions) and add them to your F: drive. there are many free disk management software out there (e.g. easus partition master, minitool) to make things easier for you.
