And you told us your HDD is 500 GB, and the SSD had a capacity of 2 TB. Which I did not believe anyway. And please check the bottom of your NB for the MSN number; it's printed on a sticker and please post it here. Ok, but your 2TB HDD contains the OS (Windows), your installed programs and games, and a lot of data (documents, downloads, videos, game data, pictures, papers etc). But then the other time you wrote your HDD is empty??? The HDD is partitioned (separated) normally in two or three partitions (compartments), which are named C:\ with Windows on it, D:\ for data and often a third called E:\ , which contains the folder Recover with the recover files, and the folders E:\ Drivers and E:\ Tools. These could be on Drive D:\ instead, if there is no Partition E on your HDD. With the recover files you can reset your computer back to the factory setup, but completely without your personal programs and data. Those will all be deleted by resetting the PC. If you want to clone all this to a SSD, you need a very big SSD, and it is not guaranteed that your PC works with two such big disks. And a SSD this size is quite expensive. So the better way would be, you buy a SSD, let's say 256 or 512 GB, and this you build in as additional disk, if there is another mounting place for a second disk. And then only clone the Windows-OS Partition C:\ onto your new SSD. Edit: I just checked your instruction manual --> http://download2.medion.com/downloads/anleitungen/bda_40062658.pdf On page 31 is described how to install an additional harddisk; this fits also a SSD with max. 9mm thickness, I assume) You also could buy an external disk drive (USB 3 or USB C 2nd generation, they are fast), and copy all your data you do not really need all the time onto the external disk. (No one really needs so many videos, pictures or music title on the internal disk all at a time) But first use the diskmgmt.msc as I described in post 4: 3. Open with Windows --> Tab + X --> choose Disk Management, or Please read out which disks you have, what size of each partition with th ename and how much is occupied already. And make a screen copy of the DiskManagemnet Windows. The program to capture the screen or a cut out is on your PC and is called "snipping tool". With this little program after Start you --> set Mode to rectangular clipping, outline the part of the screen you want to copy, --> afterwards you have to "save" the Image and give it a name you can easy remember --> remember the localization your picture is saved. To post the picture, click on the camera symbol in the header top line: Then enter the path to your saved screenshot of outlined and copied window. daddle
