System Clone

[redzmegz]

I'm so frustrated at something I can't figure out so your answers will definitely help. I just received a 250gb wd blue ssd and I want to clone windows 10 on it. I've looked up some softwares that could help and found "easeus todo backup" with a nice little tutorial. I've done everything said in the tutorial but when I click the proceed button to clone the system, it opens up an error message saying I don't have enough unallocated on my target disk. If someone could help it would be much appreciated.

This might not be what you are looking for but I've just setup a new computer myself a few days ago and windows 10 asked me to sign into a microsoft account so it can sync my windows settings.

With other words, if I install windows on a different computer and setup a fresh windows, I can sync my settings now.

If you're looking to do that because you want to migrate all your programs and so on, this would not help but maybe it is an option for you (but you need to google how do to that)

First - FRESH OS INSTALL IS BEST.

 

I recently used Macrium Reflect on another person's laptop and it worked great.

Of course, wasn't trying to fit  545.94GB onto a 250GB drive.

It might let you edit what you copy. Can't remember, didn't need that.

 

At the very least you could clean up your source drive so it is less than 250GB.

Remove all pics, docs, movies, downloads.

Uninstall progs, games. Steam, Blizzard, Origin, etc.

Games can be moved to another drive and the apps pointed to that location when cloning is done.

 

I will try deleting games, apps, etc.. to make it under 250gb. Thanks for your answer.
