[QUOTE="4wd, post: 1039618, member: 393358"] If of any inerest or use, here is my C: setup from main laptop, 50 GB partition from a 250 ssd, always ample space available as files goes on partition D: & second disk E: Ref. file manager picture: Hiberfile 6 GB System restore 2,5 GB Program files\data 5,5 GB Pagefile 1,25 GB Users 3,8 GB Could free approx 12-15 GB by trimming \ moving stuff listed above. Free space is 18 GB, means I could easily run my laptop (w 8.1) on a sub 20 GB partition. -------------- Regarding the original 32 GB ssd plan, here is what I would do, using Macrium Reflect: If not already available, make the Reflect usb boot stick, test that pc boots from it. Move everything from C: 1TB that should not be on the final ssd, to an external backup disk. Image what is left on C: (os and needed files), include the hidden boot partition(s). Fit ssd in pc, connect usb backup disk containing image. Boot off macrium usb stick and restore image to ssd. [/QUOTE]
