Hello community!
I know there are a few topics and I already read some of them but I also know that things change very often and I am not sure what to do and if there are any new ways to do it better.
I bought a PC (i5-4750) with a 1 TB HDD - my PC performance is okay - it has some problems sometimes and I see the Disk usage running at a high rate 60-80% most of the time - even now when I am just using Chrome. Games are the bigger problem - I have lags from minor to major (esp in PUBG).
I have my old MacBook with a 2'5 inch SSD 250 GB from Crucial that I really like but I think it will not be enough for my PC which runs Win10. I am now thinking about having both devices in my PC and I wanted to know if there is anything I should do to get the best performance. I had questions like:
- anything I need to do before moving my SSD from Mac to PC or just format it?
- should I get a light version of Win10 or stick to Win 10 Professional or leave it on my HDD straight away?
- will I have any problems with games if I have Win 10 on my HD and games on SSD or even some games on HD if they do not need the SSD performance?
- how about other tools or software - is it ok to just move anything that needs the performance to put on the SSD?
- how about Steam on the HDD but the Steam games on the SSD - will it cause delays if I have two pieces of software on different devices?
- is there actually anything negative about combining both when it comes to performance or compatibility?
Sorry for this question! I only bought this PC to play some games like PUBG and was a bit disappointed after experiencing many lags and unrendered textures.
All the best!
