At the moment I have a 1tb WD blue hdd and it has got windows 8 with everything on it, all my games, files and os settings. Now I just bought a Samsung 120Gb 840 Evo ssd and all i want to do is transfer my OS with all the settings I have on to my ssd. The problem is I have 230Gb of storage already on my hdd and only 120Gb ssd so I dont know if i can just select what I want to migrate or not.
Im trying to use samsung's migration software but when i set it to search all folders for things I don't want to transfer across it only finds a few files and im still miles off getting down to 100Gb. I have just backed up my local disk onto a external 1Tb hdd and its got everything on it but a couple of files couldnt transfer across because they were running. I dont know whether this matters but its there if i need it.
I have my windows 8 CD still with the code so if I need that its all here but I dont know what im doing with it.
I really dont know what im doing at the moment so try keep it simple enough for me to understand, all I want is to get windows and a few games to load up faster.
Also will I need to do this whole process again if I ever want to transfer a game across or will I be able to just drag and drop?
