Hello everyone. I have a 2 TB HDD and a 1 TB SSD. I'm curious if it's feasible to relocate the Windows boot partition to the SSD while retaining games on the HDD and keeping files there, using the SSD solely for booting.

The simplest method is to store your desired files on an external drive, reinstall Windows on the SSD, reset the hard drive, and then restore the backups. This clears out the Windows files, frees up space, and gives a clean slate on the SSD. If you lack a spare drive, the process becomes more challenging. You could install Windows on the SSD, use the extra space to save your old data, reset the drive, and then transfer everything back. However, this approach is feasible only if you’re saving less than 1TB. What amount of data should you retain from the current setup?
