Unable to move OS partition to new SSD using Macrium

VaguestFuture · February 8, 2019

The source is a 120 GB WD SSD and the destination is a 240 GB Kingston SSD. Upon cloning the source to the destination, it creates an identical copy of the source disk and just leaves about 111 GB unallocated. Is there a way to have it cloned onto a partition that is 240 GB and has the identical contents of my current drive?

I'm not 100% but I ran into this problem a while back. I played around with it, but in the end I think I found Marcin only copies exactly the source drive and it's sectors down to the size of them. Because of that it leaves any space as unallocated on the destination drive.

I played around with it but in the end I just expanded the unallocated space to a new partition. Shows up as a second drive but still works. You can do this using the windows drive manager.

Interested to see if anyone else has a solution to this as well.

It's certainly an option but that would restrict me to about ~30 GB free in one partition and 110 GB in the other; not ideal. Think I'll just install windows from scratch, thanks for your input!
