Hi,
I have a 17 Omen laptop with a 250gb WD Blue SSD OS drive and a 7200rpm 2.5" data drive. I have my OS and Apps installed on the C Drive (SSD) and my Steam, Origin and Battle.Net games installed on the D drive.
Now I'm thinking of replacing the Mechanical drive with a 2tb Samsung SSD. I Will also buy a 2.5" USB 3 enclosure. Now To transfer all the data from my D drive to the SSD am I able to :-
1) put the Samsung SSD in the Enclosure
2) connect to Laptop and then format the drive using Windows disk manager
3) Copy and paste all files from D drive to SSD
4) Remove HD and replace with SSD and then boot up as normal and all my installed games will work as normal?
Or would I be better using the Samsung Migration software you can download off Samsungs site? I've reads the online manual for the Samsung Migration software and based on what I can see it only gives you option to clone your OS drive and not a secondary drive. Can someone please confirm this?
Thanks
