so i'm trying to move my windows to a small 60gb SSD i got, but sadly i didnt anticipate doing this when i was installing all my stuff, so this is what i did:
i have a 1tb hard drive split down the middle (or about)
on my C: i installed windows along with everything else, games, programs, etc.
on my D: i left for files, music, pictures.
current state:
C: is 500gb in size, with about 200gb used.
D: is 500gb in size, with about 100gb used.
i'm trying to move windows over to the new 55gb SSD, without all the clutter, hopefully the end result will be:
B (SSD): with windows
C: with the programs
D: with the files
i'm using SymMover, which apperantly moves files without altering the registry for them... (http://mobasoftware.com/symmover.php)
i'm moving everything from C: to D: until C: is 50gb or less, then i'll use one of those softwares that clones/moves a drive to another partition, then boot up with the windows disc, "repair" and done, windows will boot into the SSD without destroying my settings/programs.
will this work?
or should i just bite the bullet and install fresh on the SSD?
