My important partitions are all on different drives
8 minutes ago, Zeke_ said:Shame on me, I didn’t know about the apparently common bug that does this when installing windows with multiple drives installed.
My main system partition is on my primary SSD where I want it to be.
My EFI boot partition is on my secondary SSD
My recovery partition is on my 7 old HDD that’s probably a year or two out from failure.
Ideally I would like all of these partitions on the previously mentioned primary SSD. Is there any easy way to move those partitions or create new ones for my main SSD? I really would prefer to not have to reinstall windows.
I am using Windows 11, and otherwise my system is behaving completely normally. I just would really like this fixed.
the fastest way to do it is to take a backup of your personal files in your user profile
disable the other drives in bios, or disconnect them.
wipe your system drive, delete all partitions, reinstall win11
restore the backup of your files.. machine account and access control list (acl) for files and folders will be different so you shouldn't back up registry or any more.
enable your other drives, or reconnect them and delete system partitions and expand the main storage partition.
