Hey guys i'm in this situation where i have a 320gb hard drive as secondary drive with games installed on it and i would like to copy all this content over to a new 1TB SSHD drive so that i don't have to redownload/re-install all my games...what would be the easiest, fastest and if possible FREE way to do so...thanks in advance!

EDIT: i don't care about the old 320gb it's 10 years old almost and will be removed from the computer after it's cloned.

Yes it is possible. I did that a few times allready. Here is the program I used.

 

It is really simple to use and it s free. You can use it to clone anything. I cloned system drives from HDD to SSD , SSd to SSD and HDD to HDD.
