So when I open up my D: drive on file explorer all of the files are blue. I use a HDD as my D: drive and an SSD for my C: drive, which has my games and OS. What I wanted to know is why are the files on my HDD blue? Like so:

Also I was going to get a 250GB SSD to transfer my OS over to, so my game SSD could focus everything on the games. If you could link me to a tutorial of how I could transfer my OS to my new drive that'd be great. Just a sidequest ;)

Thanks for reading and have a nice night/day!

IDK about the blue thing, but for drive transfer I would recommend a program called Acronis if you can get a copy. Its great
