Windows from HDD to SSD?

[MattP123]

If I were to install Windows on to a HDD, could I then later move it to an SSD without any problems?

You can  move it via like AOMEI Partition Tools OS->SSD but that will take all of the existing programs included in current os u are running with it so unless your ssd size is equal to your hdd, do a fresh install

Cloning an HDD to SSD is not something with anywhere close to a high percentage of success. The big problem is that both technologies work differently. The best way is to image a system and deploy that image. But that is very time consuming. Depending on what you have, it could take just as as much time, or close to, so might as well start clean and fresh.

I've used Apricorn EZ Gig a couple of times on HDD and SSD,

Very Good and comes with USB3 lead/Software that doesn't reside on drives,

 

It's Fast too,
