Hi everyone,

I migrated my Windows, excluding Program files and Program files (x86), from HDD to a (smaller) SSD. But now I can't run the programs from the Windows on the SSD. Is there a way to reinstall all the programs so that I can run them from SSD?

To the first question, yes, just copy the files, keeping the same path (if in Program files or Program files (x86)).
Second question: if wanting them on the HDD, you need the installation kit. If available, uninstall them firstly on the SSD, then reinstall them again, but this time set the location on the HDDs. Most part of the files will be installed in the specified folder and only some of them on the SSD.

Yes, they are listed. So if I simply copy the program files I want on SSD to the SSD, they should run? Is there a way to reinstall the ones that don't fit on the SSD so that they stay on HDD, but can be run from the Windows on SSD?
