Hi Guys, Me again :)

Been posting here a lot lately, lol but thats cuz yallz are so damn helpful each time :)

So I am currently using my Old HDD in an otherwise entirely new computer.
I have a 500GB SSD still in the box.

my goal is to use the SSD as a boot drive with OS and Games. Everything else on the Old HDD.
Would prefer to keep my current OS if possible.

Question is, what is the best way to make this happen?

Thanks guys!

Edit - P.S. if it simplifies things, completely willing to do a factory wipe on my current HDD

best way is to change your auto-save folder for your windows files, i.e documents, downloads, videos, etc via file explorer right off the hop
if you use steam etc set up a second drive to auto-save to (your hdd)

generally easier to do a clean wipe so you remove the master boot record

clone the drive over with clone zilla, then add your new drive, then adjust your save locations.
