Hello everyone. I just got my new SSD, and Im interested in knowing how can I transfer Windows 10 from my HDD to SSD without losing any files. Is it even possible, or do i have to completely reinstall windows? If I reinstall windows into my new SSD, will I lose completely all files that I had in HDD? Thanks in advance.

Have both drives connected to the computer and use a drive cloning program like Macrium Reflect to clone the partitions from your old HDD to the new SSD.

You can install windows on the SSD first then plug in the HDD and move your documents and pictures over.
