How to transfer windows 8.1 from HDD to SSD in Lenovo y510p

djk1120 · Jul 14, 2014

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased the Lenovo y510p and it has a 1 tb hard drive along with a 24gb ssd. I was wondering if it was possible to transfer windows 8.1 from the HDD to SSD. If it is possible, how would this be done. Also, is it worth moving the os to the SSD or would it be better to have something else on the SSD such as games. If any extra information is needed, please let me know. Also, windows 8.1 requires only 20gb, so it should be fine theoretically.
Thank you so much for everything in advance!!!!!

You have to format the HDD and install windows in the SSD.
Don't install games in a 24GB SSD it is better to install the windows because your pc will work very fast

the 24GB ssd is a cache drive, also, 24GB is not big enough for the os, you are going to run out of disk space on it.

the disk shows up when I am in the file explorer, so i am pretty sure that it is usable.

Did you reinstall the os?

Also, windows 8.1 requires only 20gb, so it should be fine theoretically.

And then there windows update, and other components that install with apps/games
