Moving Two 1TB Data HDD's to 4TB HDD

[Imsai37]

Hi
I have a PC with
A Single Primary HDD (SSD) of 512GB for OS

And 2 HDD's of 1 TB Capacity which contains only data, downloads and some installed programs.
Both the HDD's has run out of space and I plan to buy 1 4TB HDD to move these data and programs into this single big HDD.
What is the best way of doing?
1. Can I create 2 partitions in the 4TB HDD and clone the Two 1 TB HDD's?

Please guide me.

Enough sata port for those HDD? Just drag n drop onto the 4tb?

Program may need to reinstall

Yes.. as the requirement is the cloning software.

Example: Cloning software > MiniTool Partition Magic - Portable version

Do read to understand on the above software and there is a link on > MiniTool Partition Wizard Software Tutorial Guide


Since there are programs in the HDD then you need to change the drive letters of the new partitions and name according to the original HDD(s).
This can be done via "Computer Management".

Read & watch > How to assign a drive letter in Windows 10

So do check the drive letters of the both original HDD(s) before doing these procedures.
Once done you can remove the 2 original HDD(s) for backup purpose, optional.

Also note that you can resize each 1TB HDD to occupy 2TB size partition on the new 4TB HDD during the cloning process.

Please read thru the links and understand before proceeding.

dont partition. just create separate folder for disk 1 and 2.
