This one is a XP I have 2 hard drives. I really have been out of the loop with this stuff Seagate Sata 300G and a 160G. the 300G has everything on it and the 160 has nothing on it. My new rig will arrive (sometime between now and HELL freezing over) Win 10 Pro with a Samsung 850 EVO 2.5 inch 500G SSD and a Seagate 1TB sata3 64mb cache Hydrid SSHD. If I understand correctly (what I read) the SSD drive will have all the operating software. Should all my games be loaded on the SSD or the Hybrid? I have purchased Office 2016, should I load this on the Hybrid? I would also like to put My old 300 G hard drive in this rig to hold my photos and back up stuff like my Ipad etc. I assume I should remove the XP operating system from the 300G or maybe I should leave it IM NOT SURE IF I CAN TRANSFER FROM PRO 10 TO THE OLD XP Drive? I"ll have more questions I'm sure. Weed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

To maximize space on it I would move whatever you want to keep that is on it to the hybrid drive then format it and put the stuff back on it. Your games should probably go on the hybrid drive except for the games that you play the most. Unless you most played games are extremely old, in which case putting them on the ssd vs the hybrid offers no real benefit. When it comes to games hybrid drives offer almost the same load speed as ssd. Office should definately go on the hybrid as it is a bit much.

How do I copy my game profiles....to the appropriate drive? I assume my profile and maps are on my existing Hard drive and must be copied to the Hybrid? I also will be copying my Steam account or do I have to (or should I) download the account to the Hybrid as a fresh install? My COD5 WAW is on Steam and some older Steam games. My Cod 4 I have a disc so I will be putting this on the Hybrid as suggested. Just copying my profile and maps I suppose? thanks again Weed I'll be loading the office, got it from Best Buy Edited January 31, 2016 by WeednFeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
