SSD upgrade transfer help

[Alda14]

Im going to upgraded my 1 TB HDD to a Samsung 1 TB SSD. The programs I have on it are Google chrome, steam and games, CCleaner, DS4 Controller App, Geforce Experience, Razer Synapse, Skype, Origin, and Microsoft Student with Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. SInce I am upgrading my HDD to an SSD should I uninstall of the programs from the HDD, install the SSD and redownload or is there any way for me to transfer the programs? I already have a separate SSD with my OS and spotify on it. Its my boot drive.

The samsung SSD would have came with cloning software. Alternatively, you can find cloning software online, though i have used any of it.

That's what I use, and it works great! It is a tad bit on the expensive side though.

Thanks! Another Question. When I configured my drives when i first built my pc I set my SSD as the C drive and my HDD as my S drive. When I uninstall the HDD and install the SSD, will i have to configure the SSD so my PC recognizes it? WIll I be able to rename the SSD as storage again?

Just use Samsung Migrating software to transfer from your HDD to SSD. No need to uninstall programs first from HDD.

If you clone the HDD, you only need to configure the boot priority (if it's on the SATA 0 port, no need to worry). Yes, you probably can rename the SSD as storage
