Hello,

My hard disk is starting to run very slow, so I'd like to boot my PC onto my ssd.

Would it be possible to change the main partition to put it on my ssd?

Thank you for your time

    Okay, please force your PC to restart, if the automatic disk checking starts on startup, press any key to cancel that.

    Then in Windows, download the widely available free CrystalDiskInfo utility, please provide a screenshot of what that indicates for that drive.

    Thank you for the screenshot, that drive is failing, you need to backup all your files as soon as possible and then purchase a new drive or install Windows on the other drive, but that other drive will be much slower than an SSD.

    Yes the hdd is dying, so i ordered a usb to back up my data.

    How can i install it to the sdd, i only use it to go to the web, so i don't really care if it's slower.

    Thank you.
