hard drive Upgrading my hard drive

[Siragxl]

Hey guys I currently have a 2TB 7200RPM hard drive in my system. It's almost full at the moment this is because I have a lot of media and a lot of my game library installed. Uninstalling some games I have already done to make up some space, for now the space left is enough but it's not much (about 100gb left). So I would like to get an even bigger drive but I would not want to have to go the all the hustle of reinstalling everything. I know it's possible but I don't quite know how, I'd like to upgrade to a bigger drive and have everything just ready on the new one with all my stuff and programs on it. All the settings all the games and software installed just the way it's now. How can I do this? I am open to solutions that cost a little money, maybe a tool I need or whatever. Hoping for some answers soon.

 

Thanks guys

Just add an additional HDD to go along side your current one. I'm assuming this is a desktop as 2TB HDDs in laptops are rather a rarity.

Agree, adding an additional drive is less hassle and more cost effective also.
