Is your current HDD partitioned? If not, that's the first step.

Ideally, you want to have your OS on the SSD and all your files on the HDD. I think I used EASUS to clone/move my OS from my HDD to the SSD. However, the partition you are moving cannot be larger in size than the destination.

I put all three harddrives in the tower, set the old one to be boot. Windows wont start, tried system resotore and nada. I had seven and took the free upgrade to ten.

So now, I'm just going to say "frick it" start over with a fresh 10 install on the ssd, then move the files I want from the old drive and reinstall the exe's I want.

Basically I'm just going to do it the hard way.
