Computer unusually noisy.

And how big is that partition?

Reformatting and changed the partition to show all free space. Will clone hard drives again.

Download Minitool Partition Wizard. You'll wonder how you did without it.

Will do that. Below is a screenshot of the cloning window.

Well that worked. Strange how disk management in windows does not have this option.

I did leave a small space unalicated.

MiniTool allows to expand partitions to the left, and Windows' tool doesn't, so it is the best choice. I've been using it for about two years and I always install it immediately whenever I install Windows.

Removed the smaller hard drive the that I cloned to the SSD. Rebooted computer. Would not reboot. I also had both the SSD and the smaller internal didk hooked up. The computer still booted to the smaller drive.

The SSD is hooked to the computer by USB port. I guess the only way the SSD will work to boot the computer from us to hook up internally like the smaller spinning drive is now connected.

You can boot from the SSD connected via USB. You just have to set it up.

When booting, press ESC or whatever the key is for boot options and then select boot from USB.

I did choose that in the BIOS to boot from USB drive first.

As so on the Seagate what is the circled connection for?

Found the answer.

"These pins are not for connection rather they are jumper settings most likely to select RPS (Reduce power spinups) or SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking).

In short, don't bother about it and ur HDD will working fine as it is [emoji3]"

You sure that's not for the Molex power plug?
