Need some tech help here pls =D Here is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PbhsVY


I have an SSD and an HDD. I believe that everything that is on my HDD is just an older version of my SSD. I believe it also has windows 10 installed on it, as it appears as a possible boot drive in my BIOS. What is the best way to keep everything on my SSD (including OS), while just having my HDD as a spot for extra storage, accessible from my OS? Do I have to wipe my HDD to do this? Any video guides?


I would like to have it so that my HDD (2TB) is split in half. 1 TB as a back up drive for my SSD and 1TB as additional storage (can I set up my external back up drive to back up just this portion?)

If you need any other information about these drives, please let me know!

Many thanks -- What do you mean by save 1 or more images? by having 1 single partition (50/50), is having 1 partition as a storage unit, and the other a back up drive easy to set up?

On my 'extra drive', I have a series of images of the C. I keep 2 weeks worth, but that is not necessary.
But it keeps things updates. And is all automatic. I don't have to do anything, until my C dies or I need to roll back to yesterdays image. Or last week.
