Basically i want to build my pc with a 240 gb ssd install windows and get pc up and running then copy the pictures videos etc from my 64gb ssd. Then erase whats left on my 64ssd drive and mirror whats on the 240gb ssd drive. Then boot from the 64gb ssd and erase whats in the 240 gb ssd.

Reason i want os on 64gb and games on 240gb. I have no pc to retrieve files from 64gb ssd atm thats why this sounds backwards.

Is this possible and if so what software do i need and will it copy the drive exactly even windows.

Thx john
 
My pics. Videos and software is all over the place on drive. Will take more than mins more like 10 hours i cant copy to external hd as i have no pc
 
I would make a small partition on your 240, at the end of the drive, the same size as your 64. Install OS on the larger partition, as well as mobo chipset and all relevant drivers and windows updates. When you are finished Download and install Easeus Partition Manager. Use this to copy 64 to small partition on 240. When that is done format the 64, this will wipe out all the data.
Now copy the 240 partition with the OS on, to the 64 drive and make it bootable.
Then when you have sorted out your pictures on the small 240 partition, just delete the partition.
 
Sounds like a plan but does it copy boot strap to make windows bootable sry not a tech wizard. Also my 64 gb ssd has windows on it now but pc dead. Do u think windows will adapt to a new pc?
 
Just copy the boot partition.
If you already have the OS on the 64gb ssd, then just stick it in your new system and boot it up, best to connect mobo to monitor. Go straight into program and features and delete everything associated with your old mobo and old Gpu. Do the same in Device manager. Then just install Lan driver from new mobo disc and update the rest of your drivers from the manufacturers website.
