How do I migrate my Windows 10 Pro from HDD to SDD?

So the issue at hand is that I was stupid enough to forget all about my SSD when installing W10 on my first ever PC. So what I did was install the W10 on my HDD.

Now 7 months later I realized what a moron I've been and want to install the OS on my SSD (250gb), since it should be a lot faster.

I looked some stuff up about this subject, but I either got told to do a clean install on the SSD, or to clone the HDD to SSD.

Now, during the 7 months I've acquired 750~gb of data on my HDD so I can't really clone it to my 250gb SSD. So if I did a new, clean install on my SSD, how would it work? Would I have to take my HDD out of my PC, would I need another activation key?

Or should I just delete 500gb of games and files until I can fit it on my SSD?

Also, it's not possible to just copy paste the Windows files on the SDD, is it?

TL;DR Need help installing OS from HDD to SDD, can't just clone since HDD too much data.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
