Moving things from C drive to harddrive? - 393904304 - Feb 27, 2016
Hi,
https://i.gyazo.com/b72d9baccbe73144ba1c176566d402ea.png
How would I move everything from my C drive to my A drive? My C drive is full and I recently installed my A drive, but I honestly don't know how to do it. I've tried dragging and dropping, copying and pasting, and I've been out of luck. Also, what do you recommend I keep on the C drive (it's a new SSD). Thanks

i dont see your problem here as it is as easy as drag&droping if we talk about files like music and videos .. if you are talking about programms you will have to delete and reinstall them as you could get problems with the registry and other things like designated savespots etc... and if you want to sort out all the files besides your os , just dont take the windows or system folder , everything else can pretty much be dragged over .
some more detail in what you wanna move would be nice
regards CCD

For documents and whatnot, a drag & drop will work fine. For programs, you will to cut & paste in to the new location and then create a symbolic link.
