2I don't understand the question. The folders you list are not required to boot Windows. Why don't you just clone the drive and then redirect your profile again? In other words, clone the drive and boot from the new SSD, keeping the profile in it's current location.– RamhoundCommented Apr 10, 2022 at 1:18

Do you mean clone the C: drive only to SSD, which will be bootable as is, and then I can create the F: drive on the SSD afterward?– SystemTheoryCommented Apr 10, 2022 at 1:21

1I would clone all partitions on the disk except for the data partition. Your profile might encounter an error when you attempt to log into your account, at that time, I would recreate the data partition on the new disk. While it will complain about the profile being unable to be loaded, it should load a temporary profile, that exists on the system disk.– RamhoundCommented Apr 10, 2022 at 1:51

COMMENT, PART 1 ••• "rism's" answer on the other post is your solution (and I agree with rism that your partitions are disordered), You haven't responded to rism's solution yet. My view is that you should have a separate and unique, dedicated SSD or hdd drive for data only, and another for image backups. Your 500GB HDD and your new, 120GB SSD, will be two separate, unique OS's, that you cannot run at the same time, and you want to boot between them, with the SSD being able to access the F/Partition on the 500GB drive. This is what you are describing.– user1700228Commented Jun 15, 2022 at 8:47

COMMENT, PART 2 ••• At superuser.com/questions/287171/… you state: you confess, "The 500 GB has started to make weird noises, which is why I'm trying to replace it." ••• Then you ask for solutions to be able to access files on a drive... that you confess to wanting to replace... because it is making, "weird noises". Do you understand what I am warning about here?– user1700228Commented Jun 15, 2022 at 8:47

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
