im planning on upgrading my storage as im running a bit low so my plan is to buy a new ssd and then merge the second one with the first. this is so rather than having little pockets of storage left empty in my C drive due to a program being too big to fit on it and have to be installed on my D drive, i can have pretty much 1 big drive so if i want to install a large program i can have half on it on 1 physical drive and half on the other in order to use up as much space as possible (this is at least how i understand it, correct me if im wrong)
ive been looking at guides on how to do it and they say that all data from the D partition will be deleted which isnt a problem for me since the second ssd will be brand new with no OS or anything on it. the problem is that nobody really addresses the C partition and im very confident that everything will be safe that is stored on the C drive since it the OS has to still be functioning but im no expert and i want to be 100% certain before i do anything stupid that could make me have to spend hours having to re-download everything that i have on here which is like 180gb.
to be honest a simple yes or no will do providing there isnt anything else to read into like anything specific to my PC that could change the outcome and again if i am wrong about how this works please correct me, even though i will probably still do this because i dont like having to look through 2 separate drives to try and find things and technically speaking i will still have the same amount of available storage but everything wont be stored as efficiently.
thanks for the help
