    You still haven't answered the question.

    I know the size of your hard drives.

    I do NOT know how much data you have.....excluding second copies, backups. Just the "original" first copies.

    If it's beyond 1 TB then it obviously won't fit on the internal 1 TB.

    If it's beyond 2 TB, then it obviously won't fit on the external 2 TB.

    My crystal ball is clouded.

    Maybe you have a lot of stuff you can outright delete. My crystal ball is clouded. You are the only one with that knowledge.

    "Free space" doesn't really help.

    Need to know "occupied space", counting ONLY the HDD and the external, omitting the SSD.

    First copies ONLY; not backups or second copies.

    Trying to determine: "Will ALL of my "original" first copy data fit on my internal 1 TB hard drive, excluding anything on the SSD".

    Should be a simple question. Yes or no.

    If it WON'T and you have nothing further to delete, then maybe you need to buy a new larger internal drive.....bigger than 1 TB.

    Again: I think the goal would be:

    SSD: Windows and programs.

    Internal hard drive: all original data, including an image file of everything on the SSD. The image file will be somewhere near 60 GB.

    External: second copy of everything on the internal.


    Do a census to get a total for what needs to fit on the internal hard drive. Exclude anything on the SSD. Maybe it's 600 GB. Maybe it's 1600 GB. You haven't said...yet.

    Maybe you've got lots of second copies of stuff already. Maybe you've got a lot of stuff you can delete.
