I have a 1TB HDD at the moment and I just purchased a 6TB HDD.
I have programs and a bunch of other stuff on the 1TB HDD.
Can I just copy paste to the new one? Or no because they contain programs and not just movies and pictures etc?
Is this the OS drive?
If so, you CANNOT just "copy/paste" . Period.
So...what do you have and what are you actually wanting to do?

Also, are you absolutely positive this will work, all I have to do is make new shortcuts?
If you give us greater detail of exactly what you have and what you're trying to do, we can probably give you a full step by step solution that will actually work.
Instead of a few half formed thoughts.
Not trying to be rude or offend so please don't this that way, but I didn't post half formed thoughts.
What you are asking me is what I have already stated. Reread what I posted please.
I have a 1TB HDD. It is NOT my OS drive, which is my SSD. I want to put all of the data (Games, movies, pictures, everything) onto the new 6TB HDD that I just purchased. I can't plug in both HDDs at the same time so I can't do a straight copy paste even if I wanted to, but I have an external HDD that I can copy everything to, then copy it to the new HDD.
I believe that is all the information that I could possibly provide in this situation. If it isn't, please tell me what it is I'm missing and I will provide said information.
Thanks.
Edit: (I believe k1114 did actually read the whole post (Thank you if you did), and posted a correct solution, but I'd like to be 100% certain before I start taking apart my computer just to get it wrong=p.)
