Hello everyone!

I just bought a new SSD (I've used a HDD before that) and I want to know if there's a feature / program, which can transfer everything including Windows to the new drive.

Thanks in advance,

This is not a reply, I just also want to see if theres any software for that. I'm thinking of using it myself for a newer build.

Macrium Reflect works well for cloning Windows (along with other files) from an old HDD to a new SSD.

I'll try that when it arrives. Thanks!

SOLVED:

 

Ok, this is a stupid solution, but I just installed Windows 10 and a few programs on the SSD and left the HDD unchanged.

I also tried a Macrium Reflect on a different PC, didn't work at all: It just rebooted after 1-2 minutes, and then I would have to start again.
