Hello, I have a Toshiba 128GB SATA M.2 SSD (B+M key) and I need to clone it into a Samsung 970 EVO 250GB NVMe M.2 SSD (M key). The problem is that I don't have multiple M.2 slots (I only have a single M.2 NVMe slot, in which I can put either the Toshiba OR the Samsung SSD). Other info that might be useful: - The SSD that I want to clone has the OS in it (Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit), so it must be bootable after cloning - I can plug the Toshiba SSD in as a USB drive (but NOT the Samsung one) - I have a USB external hard drive which could contain the image of a backup of the Toshiba SSD and other programs if necessary - I have a USB flash drive which could be used as a Live USB if necessary - My PC has a DVD drive for some reason How can I manage to clone my SSD? Thanks to whoever will help me

Hello to everyone in the community, Today I tried cloning my old SSD (250 gb SanDisk) to my new SSD (500 gb Samsung ) with Samsung’s data migration software. Everything went just fine. After the restart, and with the old SSD unplugged, the first time the computer booted just fine with no problems at all. But on the next restart I had that "NTLDR is missing" error. I tried to see via the iso windows 10 disc (the installation menu) the drivers and realized that it has been converted into GPT format with no reason at all. Not sure if that’s the problem but I think that system file type is on NTFS (which my new SSD was after the cloning). Any help would be appreciated and thanks in particular !

does anybody know how to use the space that doesn't get formatted after you clone an HDD to a SSD thx in advance -
I posted an earlier thread due to some difficulties I was having getting an SSD I purchased to be recognized by my partner's Macbook Pro (Mid-2012): To summarize, I am looking to clone my partner's hard drive to an SSD to help improve load times. I did wind up getting my Windows PC to recognize the SSD, but it still fails to initialize on the Macbook. I was wondering if there is a way that I could clone the hard drive to my Windows PC without deleting my active disks and then clone it to the SSD? I have plenty of empty space on my hard drive, but I am not familiar with making partitions if needed so I would appreciate specific instructions. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any good way to clone windows from HDD to SSD? i cant fit my whole HDD to my SSD for apparent reasons (1TB drive to 128gb)

My mate has given me his new SSD as he does not have a copy of windows, I said I would clone my bootable SSD with windows on, to his SSD. I used EaseUS to clone the drive but the BOOTMGR was missing, I also discovered it has partitioned the drive into 2 halves, 121GB and 111GB. I cannot for the life of me get the partitions to go back together and delete the recovery partition. I tried creating a simple volume and extending to absorb the unallocated space but this just gives me an error message saying that there is not enough space. Many Thanks

Hi I have a sabrent ec-hdfn which I have used to make hdd clones in the past. Currently I am trying to make a clone of my father's HDD to a new SSD; as the life of his HDD is currently dwindling. For whatever reason I can't seem to get the cloning process to start, so I'm hoping someone may have some insight on this issue. I've Googled around a little with no success (mostly product reviews how to forum posts and where to buy results is what comes up). I also tried to contact the company, however, they did not answer (will try again tomorrow). If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Hi guys Due to stupid Microsoft forcing updates even when disabled i need to reinstall my OS on 4 different computers. Whats the best option for a software to clone windows 10 over to my other computers. I have used one called carbon copy cloner but its a mac only cloner, I'm after something like this. Free would be awesome and easy to use as I'm annoyed as hell and cant be bothered dealing with annoying software at the moment. If anyone has some good option that would be great thanks

Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone has any ideas for a image or cloning software that you can configure to automatically encrypt a hard drive using bitlocker or any other third party encryption software after imaging a computer. So, for example, I have an image captured. I use it to image a laptop, and after it completes the image it automatically encrypts the laptops hard drive. I'm guessing this is impossible, but, I thought I'd ask. Thanks guys!

Hi! I was cloning my laptop's drive to another drive and during the process, the recipient drive got disconnected due to my fault and I had to force close the process. Now, I cannot access the drive. Whenever I open disk management, it stops responding and I have to force close it. Same happens with windows explorer. I tried formatting using diskpart, but that didn't work and the 'chkdsk' command in Command promt also won't work for that particular drive. During booting process, I can't go into BIOS, unless I disconnect that drive. Is there any way of fixing it or is there something wrong with the hard drive on a hardware level that can't be fixed? PS- I made sure that the UEFI was in AHCI mode. I also tried disabling Legacy BIOS boot; but that didn't work either.

Hello guys! I currently have my Windows 10 OS on a 120GB Kingston SSD and i recently ordered 1TB SSHD Seagate Firecuda as a replacement. I wanted some help regarding which software to use for cloning and maybe a tutorial video link if possible for the software you refer. I googled and several different options for cloning came up like using windows inbuilt diskmgr but the only software (just by looking at pics and text) i found easy was EaseUS If anyone has some better reccomendations considering they are easy to use and do the job please suggest and help me out here. Thanks!

I bought a 256 GB HP S700 Pro Internal SSD to speed up my partner's old Macbook Pro (Mid-2012). I found a method of cloning your current hard drive onto a new SSD using a program called "SuperDuper," but I could not even reach this step of the process as the Macbook kept giving me an error stating that the disk could not be read, even when I would attempt to initialize the drive. I made sure to buy an external adapter that came with an additional AC power supply as I this seemed to be the most common issue reported on various forums, so I am sure that this was not the issue. I was wondering if I had a bad drive, so I plugged the SSD into my primary PC, a 2016 ASUS Q534UX running Windows 10 with all USB 3.0 Ports, and was able to detect it as a "USB Mass Storage Device" in Device Management, but it would not appear as an accessible drive anywhere on the PC. I went into "disk management" and both refreshed and rescanned for disks, but nothing showed up. I am unsure what to do at this point as the SSD appears to power on and be detected to some extent, but I am unable to access it. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi all im new to custom pc's and that and need help with some stuff. also this is my first forum post so lol ima nub. So my boot drive is stored on a 120gb ssd and recently it has been filling up and im getting prompts for the lack of space. i went to think maybe if i got a similar ssd i could save some money, however i heard that there are risks to raid 0 because there is a lack of redundancy and i could lose all my files and i dont want that. Another alternative would be to get andother 500gb ssd and move everything so itll be safer, however i do not know how to. One more question that is which is a better option?: is a raid setup better or the ssd upgrade? Greetings from Asia! -
Hi there! My question has most assuredly been asked before, yet i cant seem to find the soloution. Which is why im asking here :-) I recently bought a 250gb m.2 SSD, with the intent to simply clone my current OS drive (120gb ssd) to it. I have very much managed to do so, but not with the result i was hoping for. My problem however, is that the 250gb SSD get separated into two partions - one with every file from the old SSD (all good), and another, left to be allocated/formatted. So my question is, how do clone my old drive to the new drive without having the new drive being split into two?

Hi, I've just finished cloning my HDD (Some Toshiba 1tb) to my SSD (Samsung 850 evo 250gb) and I've just set it as my boot drive in my computers BIOS, how do I format my HDD? as whenever I right click the drive and click format it responds with "You cannot format this volume, It contains the version of windows you are using/ Formatting this volume could cause your computer to stop working." -
Okay, let me make this clear from the start, i dont want to make a back up of windows to boot from what ever. i have one need right now. and its extremely specific... I recently acquired a samsung 850 evo 512GB SSD, and i need to CLONE windows. i dont need to make a back up, i need to copy my C: drive exactly as is from my current SanDisk 128GB SSD to the 850 evo. i want to do it in such a way that when i am done, i just plug in the 850 evo and continue using windows without having to reinstal ANYTHING!!!! I DONT WANNA HAVE TO REINSTALL ANY OF MY PROGRAMS FROM F*** THAT!!!! I dont have that much time on my hands. i need software that can CLONE my solid state drive as is, and copy the information onto another drive and still maintain its integrity and usability... Any ideas on what i can use (preferbly free)

Long story short, I would need to discuss on the approach to get the entire data from the Plextor SSD to the Samsung SSD. There are important considerations, since this concerns my custom build: Complex Storage System (M.2 NVMe Win 7 OS/Driver/Priority App Drive, 2.5 SSD App/Priority Data Drive, 2x HDD Data Drives in RAID1) Motherboard has 2 M.2 Slots without change in PCIe bandwidth (1 at x4 max, 1 at x2 max; OS drive at x4 max slot) 1 user account in Win OS with some mission-critical data in OS Drive such as MySQL Server, etc. 1 yr old Plextor SSD known to disconnect at too low case fan speeds (likely conclusion to be thermal despite cooler ambient temps) and may inquire manufacturer or vendor for the issue. Plextor SSD will be designated to be wiped and formatted as Linux OS Drive as part of the phase to have a separate boot partition for Linux experimentation with server and virtualization. All partitions in the build are backed up at the drive/partition level in a 4TB External HDD, set on a regular schedule. My past migration experiences was image cloning a 500GB HDD to 500GB SSD for a laptop, which was successful and remains under active use for mobile operations and school-related networking. -
I am looking to replace the internal hard drive in my Xbox one x with a smaller SSD for faster boot times and a few most used games. then i will have a RAID 0 hard drive array for mass storage through USB 3.0. I am having a problem cloning the operating system to a smaller SSD, I don't want to buy a 1TB SSD I would like to use my 256GB 850 EVO. does anyone have any advice for this? I feel that this would help many people who want faster storage. I have no worries about the warranty. it looks as though i am unable to clone without doing a forensic clone in the research i have done wich i cant do with a smaller storage drive. there is a lot of empty space though and I am sure it can be done.

Usually when I upgrade a system, I do a fresh install of windows and reinstall everything else because that's just me. But this time is very different. My fiancee's system is in need of a speed up and I wanted to install an SSD as a main OS drive and use her old one as a data drive. She has a Toshiba Satellite P75-A7200 and has room for a second hard drive. My issue is that I've never cloned a laptop before. I would like to clone everything, including the recovery partition. I was wondering if it is possible to selectively clone all but data files. Would all SSDs that I purchase through a retailer provide the correct software to clone everything including the recovery partition.

So with my current SSD at 256GB nearly getting full I'm planning to upgrade it to a 480 or 500GB one. How do I migrate the OS along with all the programs and everything I have on the old SSD to the new one? I know this should seem simple but I've never done it before and I want to check before I screw something up and lose data/program licenses. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I'm sitting with a small problem that can turn into a bigger one later. We've got a farm with eight machines, each time we update any of our software I have to update eight times through remote desktop (Yes have a laugh at me). This isn't TOO terrible but I'm sure there's a better way. What sort of software could I use to keep one "image" of a machine updated and then propagate that to all the other machines? Something that would keep the "identity" of each machine in tact rather than having eight machines called "renderNode"? If we ever end up getting more machines for the farm then this could become a very tedious task! Suggestions are welcome. -
Ok so a while back my SSD has started to go bad so i bought a new 240GB SSD thats both bigger and faster then the shitty 60GB one i had before, so now i need to move the OS and all the programs and stuff from the 60GB one to the 240GB one and i would rather use cloning then reinstall because there is a load of stuff i wont remember to reinstall and the stuff will break and it will be a pain in the ass for me so how do i clone my SSD? thanks for any help and any replies TL:DR how do i cloan my 60GB SSD to my 240GB one?

Hello there im just now trying to clone my os to my new ssd. But i got a few questions/problem. First can you, yes, you , recommend me a good clonig programm. i already tried ez gig iv (wont detect any drives or the "upgrade" device) and easeus todo backup free (cloned, but the ssd wasnt booting). It would be cool if you can tell me a clone software, that dont delet the old hdd(or risk it too much, because i dont have a backup ready and no drive for a new backup at hand) and dont has problems with the partitions on my hdd( my windows install was a clean install on a new drive and because of that, i have a normal system partiton (around 200gb) and a system-reseved partition( bootloader and bla bla around 350mb as normal)). As example, easeus cloned each partition on its own into diffrent partitions on the ssd and that it dont boot(atleast i think thtat this was the problem) T(h)ank you and bye
