Hi everyone,
I recently received a Samsung 850 Evo 256GB SSD as a gift, and I wanted to use it as my OS (Windows 10) drive, as well as throwing the current game I'm playing on it and so on. I have a 1TB WD Blue that I have been using before that.
Right now, I've done a fresh install of windows 10 onto the SSD, and it's now running as my C drive, and I've got my 1 TB drive formatted, with my PC recognising it as my D drive. I cloned the drive before formatting it onto an external hard drive.
This is where I become stuck and a little confused. Firstly, could someone run me through the steps to put my cloned drive back onto my D drive, and then ensure my D drive is bootable?
I'd also like to know what files from that drive are only for the OS and whether/how they can be deleted.
If this post seems vague and missing of critical information, I apologise as I'm a complete novice, but I wanted to do this myself and learn as opposed to spending $100 and getting someone else to do it for me.
If it means anything I have the 2016 version of Acronis also installed on my C drive.
Thanks to anyone who can lend a helping hand!
