I have 2 computers. A new one with  1TB WDBlue in factory settings, and another with 2TB WD green with 1.3TB taken up (Both on same windows 10 version)

I Would like to transfer ALL my things from PC B to PC A. Could i just unplug it and plug the drive i use in? Or even better, could i plug the second drive as an additional drive giving me 3TB (Sorry not super good with computers)? 

Any and all responses appreciated :)

Yes, you can connect HDD from PC B to PC A and Windows should boot provided no driver conflicts

Yes you can have multiple HDD plugged in at the same time. They will both show up as separate drives 2TB (C drive) and 1TB (D drive).

 

To combine two drives (or more) so they show as a single drive you need to use RAID.
