Need to get my Photos from my old C drive onto my new C drive.?
I had an older computer and just replaced the MB, CPU, RAM, and C Drive. The old C drive was a slower and much smaller SSD. When the shop put in my new larger and faster SSD they just disconnected my old SSD and left it in the computer.
I would like to be able to transfer my files from the old C drive to the new one. My photos are very important to me. How can I do this with just my current computer.

Reconnect it as a slave drive and copy them directly to the new drive...
Turn the PC off at the mains. Press the power button on the PC to discharge any residual current in the capacitors.
Open the chassis/case and touch a bare piece of metal (not the power supply unit) to discharge any static in you.
Plug in all the cables (usually only one 4 pin power and ribbon data cable/SATA cable).
As this drive is to be a slave, make sure the jumper settings are correct (there's usually a diagram on the drive) close the case and power up.
Check that it's detected in the BIOS*
*On start up keep tapping either F1, F2, F10,(Be Aware that some manufacturers use F10 for system recovery!) Esc, or Del, to enter the BIOS set-up. Save settings and exit.

If you hook up both drives at once and than boot into windows, you should be able to access both drives from the my computer icon.
