    Hi Phil! :welcome2: to the community! :)

    You should have 2 options!

    Option 1: Just download and log in to Origin on Windows 8 and download the game again to your Windows 8 ssd. But obviously this will take up another 8gb on your SSD... but there's another option ;)

    Option 2: What you can do instead to save space on your SSD, is once you're logged into Windows 8, find My Computer/File Explorer window on your desktop, and it should show you a list of your hard-drives!

    Find your HDD with Windows 7 on it, click on it then click on 'Program Files (x86) then click on Origin Games > The Sims 4 > Game > Bin then in the bin folder you should find the .exe file for launching The Sims 4.

    Right click that exe and create a shortcut then just drag the shortcut over to your desktop on Windows 8.

    Then basically you'll be able to play The Sims 4 on your Windows 8 ssd without it taking up space on your ssd... it'll just run the game off of your W7 HD :)
