Swapping C and D drives

Hello, I know there are lots of topics about changing C and D drive but none seem to be the exact issue I am having.

I just got a new laptop for work and I have two SSDs. C drive is 2 TB and the D drive is 1TB. I work within dropbox with very large project files and previously I have only had dropbox files save to the D drive and had the C drive to do everything else. What I want to do is have the 2TB of storage for the D drive and the 1TB of storage for the C drive. Is it possible to to be able to move the default program/start up files to the D drive and then swap drive letters?

Thanks

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    There is no method in Windows to do this, but you could backup all the files from the D drive, then wipe the D drive and use a 3rd party utility like the free trial version of Macrium Reflect to clone the C drive onto the D drive, then in BIOS, change the boor order so the D drive is the primary boot device, and finally wipe the old C drive so you can use it as a data drive, it is a bog job and it may be best if you have an IT team in your company, get them to do this for you, especially because you use DropBox to sync files.
