Need some help,

I copied all of my folders from my C: drive, which is an SSD, which was getting quite full, over to my E: drive. Keep in mind that my C: drive contained things such as my WINDOWS folder, and other things such as PerfLogs and important sounding stuff. I was wondering, considering I moved EVERYTHING from my C: drive over, would I be able to delete what is inside it, considering it is now on my E: drive.

How about you just keep Windows and stuff on your SSD because you want your computer to run fast, and not possibly break it?????

My SSD is incredibly small, and can hardly store stuff on it's own. I mean, would it be fine if I left windows and other folders there?

its fine to delete all the shit on C:, as long as it's all replicated to E:, ur pc will be able to automatically seek out the needed files on E: and start using them. reboot after the deletion and everything should be fine!

No. Just deleting everything doesn't mean its gone. He'll have to format the hard-drive to remove everything, and he'd have to do a secure format to wipe all the 1s to 0s. Which is not a good idea to do on an SSD because it has a limited number of writes, and that would take a considerable amount.

Can you re-iterate your issue?

That's not how it works in the slightest

Windows partitioning is very specific to the drive it was originally installed on. Even if you were to copy from c to e and then change your bios to boot off of e, windows would fail because windows begins to seek things in the c drive still.

Your best bet would be to do this.

Put your windows setup on a USB stick or cd if you haven't already.

Install windows on the E drive properly

Make sure bios is booting off of your E drive, not C

Proceed to format your drive. Make sure you format it to its default format and nothing else, otherwise the drive will be incompatible. Google what format you should format your drive to.
