So the other day I purchased a 3TB internal for my computer because my 1TB has about 50gb left of space on it. Was wondering am i have to Move programs and files (mainly progams) the my new HD without having to reinstall them. I know for games i can just back up and what not but was wondering if there would be an easier option so perhaps just drag and drop type thing. Maybe even back up that whole HD the restore it onto the new one ? Not entirely sure what i can do and if it can be done atm. Thanks guys :D


ALSO....Is there any point in getting the free windows 8.1 upgrade or not ? Havent really looked into it at all. Just want to see what everyone thinks about it and if its worth doing. Cheers
 

What system do you have? If desktop you could simply use the 3TGb as a second drive and shift all the User Folders across leaving the 1Tb for the OS. Or use Partition Master to copy the entire contents of the 1Tb to the 3GTb...
