I would strongly suggest upgrading to an SSD. I've been using Windows on SSD's with other data stored on larger HDD's for several years. Windows hangs in weird and wild ways when accessing data on HDD's now more than ever and as a result, I retired all my HDD's and replaced them with SSD's, now plugging them in only when I need specific data via USB.
