Upgrading my Local C Drive and transferring all data?

[JeehoonOh]

Hello! So my current local C drive is a small 120GB SSD. So as expected, it's running out of space so I am in need of a new SSD to replace my current local C drive (I have a 500GB SSD in mind).

So my question is, how can I replace my current SSD to the newer one, and transfer information without losing data?
Also to note I have unregistered Windows :|
Thank you!

Side Note: I have a 2TB Harddrive for my D drive where I install all my games, external softwares, movies, and music.
It's just that there are programs that HAVE to be installed on the local C drive like itunes, and whenever I install programs on the D drive, it still installs softwares on the C drive, gradually taking little bit of space.

Hi there JeehoonOh,

I believe you can just use some cloning tool and clone your old SSD onto your new one. There are quite a lot of threads on that in the forum.
Then, you can just reformat your old SSD and use it for storing/running some stuff on it.

Cheers,
