A little earlier I made a thread asking how to move data from an HDD to an HDD+SSD combination.
I've decided that I don't want to go through the trouble of keeping theOS only on the SSD.
I just need to get my data over to the new HDD.
I'm at a complete loss here. I've been searching the internet for hours now, and I cannot get a consistent answer.
What is the best, easiest, safest way?
Do I need to do a fresh Windows install, and re-install all of my programs?
Do I create a backup of my old drive using the built in Window's recovery system, and move it to the new one once it's installed? I don't know how to do this.
Do I clone the drive using some software?
I'm really confused here, and I need to figure this out before my current drive fails and I lose everything.
