Option 1: Cloning HDD to smaller SSD
Hi guys. I've been investigating how to dual boot from a new SSD. I'm planning to have the Windows OEM OS and Ubuntu on my SSD while using my HDD as storage. However, I'm not sure what partitions should be moved to the SSD since Windows has created a lot of them after I updated Windows from 8 to 10 a long time ago, and I also created a partition to dual boot Ubuntu on the HDD.
These are my current partitions on the hard drive: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7bWd0.jpg
- HDD: 1TB (Use as storage for Windows and Ubuntu
- SSD 240 GB (I want ~70GB for everything related to Ubuntu)
Another option would be to have both OS's inside the SSD, but also use the SSD as storage for Ubuntu and use the HDD for Windows storage only, but I'm not sure if this is recommended as it might be more complicated I believe.
So, what is the best method to accomplish this? What partitions should be moved to the SSD?
Option 2: Clean install
Is it just better that I do a clean install of Windows in the SSD? If so, do I still need some of the partitions that are in the HDD like Sony's or WindowsRE?
Im' not sure which is the best path and hope you guys can guide me :)
