</article><div class="bbWrapper" style="">I know it's not strictly photography related
but I'm wondering if someone can help? I know there are a few clever pc
people on here.<br>
I have a pc set up purely for photography, the 120Gb ssd is almost full
so I now have a new 1Tb ssd waiting to go in. I want to run the OS
(win10) from the 120Gb ssd and have nothing else on that drive, then run
all my software and store photos on the new 1Tb ssd, with keepers
backed up to an external HDD. Now, I can remember doing this before many
moons ago and it was a right PITA, I'm sure I had to go through the
registry and do all of it manualy after copying all the required folders
onto the new drive. I know I can easily clone the whole lot from one to
the other but I really want to have a seperate drive just for the OS.
Is there an easy way of doing this nowadays? I don't mind paying for
software if it makes life easier and less time consuming. <br>
ps, a lot of the software has been installed/downloaded from the
tinterweb so I don't have the exe files to reinstall from, I would have
to redownload. This would be fine on decent broadband but I get 3mb on a
good day so it would take a serious amount of time to download it all
again (as in weeks)</div><article class="message-body js-selectToQuote">
