Hello all. I need some advice and I'm hopeful that I've come to the right place 
My wife's desktop storage is currently a 1TB WD Blue HDD that's been partitioned thusly: Windows 7 and as little as possible on C: and pretty much everything else on D: and by everything I mean My Documents, Program Files, Libraries, Outlook data, Pictures, Videos, and Music. The machine is running 16 gigs of DDR3 RAM, but she's still not happy with its overall performance, particularly with regard to boot and application start times.
My own computer is setup with a 480GB SanDisk SSD as a boot device and a 2TB Western Digital hard disk for programs and other storage and it seems to work well. I have a few spare SSDs laying around and I'm wondering if I coulld utilize one of them to speed her's up a bit without going through the whole clean install routine.
If I were to clone the existing Hard Disk's C: partition to the SSD, then delete it creating a SSD/HDD - C & D combo would I run into any problems?
Thanks in advance!
