Hi
I have an ageing PC running Windows Vista on a HDD. I want to install an SSD and install Windows 10 on it and use this as the C driven and use the existing HDD as a D drive.
All components were high end when new so all are capable of running Windows 10
My question is, can I somehow transfer all programs / documents etc from the HDD to the SSD?
I have searched for this but can't find an answer. There are plenty of folk saying clone the HDD to the SSD and then upgrade to Windows 10 but I have also read that Vista cannot be upgraded to 10 without first upgrading to Windows 7 or 8 but I really don't want to buy a registration key for 7 and 10
My second question is, once I have installed Windows 10 on the SSD do I have to format the HDD as it will still have Vista installed on it
Worst comes to the worst I can format the HDD and clean install 10 on the SSD as I still have most of the programs on disk and can easily save all documents to a dongle
Thanks in advance
