Hi, first post
Anyway I'm considering using my current Mushkin chronos enhanced SSD 120GB as a boot drive as it is currently only holding a few GB of space, my 500GB seagate Barracuda is almost full and I fancy the performance boost, especially in games.
The problem is i was going to use paragon migrate OS to SSD 2.0 for the well... migration but I will have to leave the users folder on my HDD as it wont fit on the SSD. Can I boot off the SSD and create a new user to sort everything out without a users file?
And if so, which is the best way to link the old users file (on the HDD) to the SSD boot drive? I have seen methods which use hard links via windows shell extension and mklink in the command prompt but also methods which use a regedit but I was wondering which is the most effective and reliable?
Also could I move one of the program files folders to the HDD if it got too large to stay on the SSD and how would I be able to organise that so programs link correctly?
many thanks
