    Hello all, quick question.
    I have Windows 7 installed on my 8GB SSD, and it takes up about 95% of the drive. 7GB + of these files are located in the "Windows" folder on my SSD. Can I simply move this folder to my 8GB SD card to make room on my SSD? Will it affect anything as long as I keep the SD card in?

    Yes it willl affect everything. Since you installed Windows on the C drive - your SSD, Windows expects its systemfiles to reside on the C drive. If you move the windows folder to the SD card (the D drive), windows can't find the files, and you won't be able to boot the machine into windows.

    And why would you do that? SD card is an SSD and why not just put your data on the SD card?
