I purchased a new samsung 840pro and i want to put my os with a couple programs and games i use most on it since its only 128gb but then i want my 2tb hdd to store all the programs/games i don't normally use, so should i remove the os form the 2tb hdd and just load it onto the sdd I'm not really sure how it works, also what about the anti virus programs do i leave them on the hdd? Just confused on how this works.
I see, but can i still play the games and use the programs on the old HDD even tho it has no OS, this process confuses me lol.
all the games & programs will have to be re-installed so that the new windows will know they are installed & their location. when reinstalling, tell windows you what the game\program installed on the 2tb drive not the ssd drive.
shouldn't be any issues as long as you are careful when installing windows onto the ssd & not onto the 2tb. windows when checking for existing windows will find the 2tb windows so don't fix it. make certain the new windows is installed on the new ssd.
i normally do that with windows but haven't had to re-install win8 yet on a tower which i only have 1 customer with win8 on the tower & another on a laptop.
