I have a second HDD installed on my m15x. I want to put the operating system on the second my HDD and run my games off my smaller SSD drive that I have installed in the primary drive slot. My second HDD is where my disk drive was. My primary is drive C: 128GB SSD and my second drive is drive D: 1TB HDD. I want to leave the drives where they are at, and I want to install my games on the smaller drive. I would like to switch the drive Labels so the HDD will be drive C and SDD to be drive D. How do I move my files from one to the other?

It sounds like your going to need to dual boot (add another win image to the 1tb hdd) then you can switch things around but this is no easy task and might mess things up like programs will no longer be able to find important files to run properly. You can read through this and see if that will help

Simply create new partition on your 1TB HDD (if you have enough space)
Clone your windows partition to your newly created partition (i recommend using EASEUS partition master, it's free, easy to use and powerfull) and set partition as active
After done, u can erase your windows partition from your SSD and put any file you want there...
But if i were you i prefer put the system & importatnt app on SSD, since it will give you faster performance,
as for game, i always run in from my 2nd slot hybrid disk and never found any issue nor slowdown... -
