I have recently purchased a new western digital green 120gb ssd to use as my boot drive for windows 10 because my pc was booting very slowly from my hard drive.
I read through some forums and realised that the best thing to do was to do a 'clean install' of windows using a usb thumb drive onto the new ssd using my old product key then setting the ssd as the boot drive in the BIOS.
Once doing this I was faced with a blank desktop and none of my old files, drivers or folders but both the ssd and HDD were being recognised fine by the pc.
To conclude,
Do any of you know how I could use my ssd as a boot drive but still keep all of the files from my HDD?(without cloning the hard drive- because the ssd is too small and also without installing non-free software)
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
