If you don't have enough space for your data (e. g. family photos and videos), you can either replace the old disk with a new higher-capacity one (data transfers to new disks are described in the previous chapter), or add a new disk only to store data, leaving the system on the old disk. If the PC has space for another disk, it would be easier to add a disk drive than to clone one. To add a new disk, you must first install it in your PC. Although this operation is relatively simple, we do not recommend it for inexperienced users, and advise them to have a professional do it. If you still want to install it yourself, first take the time to study Appendix B.
