So I upgraded my existing HDD to and SDD by unpluging the HDD and installing windows fresh on the SSD. Then I added the HDD back in.
My desktop files are buried in the HDD and the programs don't want to run from that location. I was going to just lay a shortcut to my old desktop on my new desktop, to keep the SSD free of space, and to eliminate reinstalling all of my programs, but it doesn't seem to work well.
How should I treat the secondary HDD moving forward? Should I bite the bullet and format it and just reload what I wanted off of it and reinstall all the programs choosing which drive to install them too, or is there a smoother way to transition without loosing all the software I had installed (microsoft office, steam, etc.)
Thanks!
