Hello,
The hard drive in my C drive is only 479 GB. I'd like to replace it with a larger one.
Is this so easy and how do I identify this hard drive?
Is there a way to transfer the data somehow (I don't know how relevant the data on drive C is?).
Alternatively, could you connect an external hard drive via USB and then assign it as drive C extension?
Thanks for the help and sorry for the uninformed questions 😅

Loading...Hallo habe mir ein komplett neues System aufgebaut und habe jetzt Windows 11 auf der 2TB m.2 SSD installiert. Auf meiner alten 1TB SSD ist Windows 11 auch noch installiert dabei sind noch viele Spiele drauf und das runterladen kann Tage dauern bei mir. Ist es möglich das Teil einfach anzuschließen und ich kann weiter…
Hi. ähm ich machs kurz und hab mit nem Partition Manager rumgepfuscht da ich nurnoch 472GB anstatt 475 hatte. Somit hab ich alle partitionen zusammengeführt und jetzt erkennt das laptop keine Festplatte mehr und zeigt: No bootable device an. Ist der Laptop jetzt kaputt oder brauche ich nur neue Festplatte?

Kann ein sehr günstiger USB Stick schlechter sein als ein teurer? Was wäre da genau der Unterschied? Hab mit im türkei urlaub nen 128 GB USB Stick von smart usb für 4 Euro gekauft. Was ist der Unterschied zwischen diesem und einem von zb SanDisk?
Hey, my SSD is full, and I'd really like to download some games and stuff onto my PC again. My question is, what exactly should I do now? Should I get a new SSD, or can I just expand it or install a "second" SSD? Thanks.
This depends on whether the “Drive C:” displayed on Windows is a separate hard drive or whether your “Drive C:” and “Drive D:” (if you have multiple drives in Windows) are physically on the same hard drive.
This would have to be resolved first. This depends on the precise further procedure.
You can mirror your old hard drive to the new one.
How to do this can you read here: https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cb-Tipps-PC-Hardware-Festplatte-spiegel-unter-Windows-10-31590619.html
As a rule, C: the boot hard drive, i.e. there is Windows installed. If you simply exchange it, the new one is of course nothing on it and you would have to reinstall Windows.
You can also previously clone your old hard drive to the new ones, for which a number of apps are available. If everything runs correctly, you then copied the contents of the old to the new bootable.
Maybe you even have a slot in your computer open for a second hard drive? If you don’t have to take them out and restart your operating system, or clon the hard drive. However, write your Bitlocker password, otherwise the data is no longer accessible.
Thank you for your answer!
You know how I recognize the hard drive? Are there two different (drive C and D) or is that one? I don’t know
A hard drive can only be “recognized” by se, even if one is in it, which is not the case with most computers. You’ll have to disassemble the computer and see if a slot is still free on the motherboard. Sometimes you’re lucky and the manufacturer left the option open. If you want to see if a second is available in the Start menu at Windows diskmgmt. msc. You have to go there when you’ve used a second hard drive.
If you have already installed Windows, just right-click the Windows icon in the taskbar and select Disk Management. All built-in hard drives are displayed there.
