Need a bit of help again.
I have 1 tb storage HDD ( files and games) and 128GB SSD with OS on it. I bought a new samsung evo 750 SSD and I want to replace it with 1tb HDD storage. I just dragged and dropped into the new SSD, but now im missing 117 GB on the new SSD. Whats goin on? I've tried doing it mulitple times now, still the same amount missing?? HELP (Using windows 7)

1. You can't just drag and drop applications. Games count as applications.

2. WinDirStat can help visualize where that space is. Hidden Files, maybe?

Not sure offhand, perhaps hidden files or permissions issues?

I would either use a built in utility like Robocopy which can be set to output to a text file. This will tell you if any files/folders are skipped. We use this a fair amount for clients because it's built in to Windows and can help transfer all files along with permissions and whatnot.

I'm sure there are probably free file transfer utilities out there that can help also but I don't have any particular experience with those.
