Partition challenges of windows.
Partition challenges of windows.
It looks like you're navigating a bit of a confusing setup. You started with an older system, upgraded to a newer one, and are now dealing with mixed drives and performance issues. The process of moving data between drives seems to have caused some unexpected behavior, especially since the boot drive is still pinned to the old SSD. If you're looking for advice, it might help to double-check your BIOS settings, ensure all drivers are up to date, and consider testing with a clean install if you're concerned about lingering issues.
You face several dangers by cloning your system disk and relocating platforms. It’s best to start fresh with a clean slate.
I was considering that idea too. It seems the main files are already on bulk, so you could start over with the two drives and tidy everything up at once. Any suggestions on handling those partitions that were made?
Are those the additional sections you're referring to? Since I don't have access to the full context, I'm assuming they relate to the G, H, I configuration. You mentioned not having a cloning dock, so you'll need to reinstall and clear both drives.
Alternative routes: on Windows, choose hard disk partitions or, if needed, modify the old boot drive settings during installation. You'll find options to remove partitions on that interface.
I performed a complete reset and used Windows Installer to remove all unnecessary partitions. It operates much faster now compared to before. I believe the performance boost came from clearing a lot of slow files, so the update was a success. Thanks for suggesting this method!
