Hi there,
Is it possible to just copy the contents of 1 SSD to another bigger capacity SSD?
It's a SSD that holds my flightsim stuff only, NO OS on it.

it would be too lame to use Windows Explorer if your data is two large. I 'd suggest you use partition clone function of some free software.



Windows explorer is more powerful than you think. For example, under "View" click on "Details". Now suppose you want to be selective in what you copy to the new drive (as the OP stated). Then simply put the mouse pointer on the file below the Windows directory then press down the right mouse button and drag the pointer down to include all of the desired files. This highlights those files. Then just copy the highlighted files...

But you are welcome to use cloning software as well.
