    I need to have a better understanding of the big picture first before we can determine if this is even possible.

    Please provide the following information/answers -

    1. Is there a typo there? Is it 60TB or 60GB? 60 TB is quite rare.
    2. Is this drive you purchased meant to be installed internally, or is it connected via USB?
    3. Can you right click on the Start button and go to Disk Management, and share a screenshot of the Disk Management please? I need to review this part of the information.

    Thanks!!

    Is that 60TB drive an USB external drive? If so you cannot use it to replace your C drive. Window cannot run from a USB drive.
