WHAT DO I USE TO CLONE MY HDD TO SSD?

[ed4546]

I recently purchased a HyperX Fury 120GB SSD and I would like to know what software I could use to clone my HDD to it. Please don't suggest Clonezilla as I cant get it to work and it looks pretty dodgy. Thanks in advance!

What i did- Get a USB stick then load windows on to it. Turn off the PC, Unplug the hard drive, Boot to the USB, Go to advance settings, And make sure your SSD is selected.

Then once that is in MAKE SURE you have ur pc to boot from the SSD and wipe the hard drive.

 

 

Back up ur stuff also. And you can have like pictures and all that be transferd over to the hard drive. Watch this tutorial.

I've used "Partition Wizard Free" (from Cnet originally) http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Partition-Wizard-Free-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html

It works wonders, aligns SSD's correctly, copies the Bootloader and does a 1:1 copy.

Easy to use.

Install/Run

Select C:\

Hit the COPY button.

Select Target Drive

 

Re-set up the partitions or let the program do it for you...

It Reboots for the Copy Process before Windows will load........so it can copy the Windows files that are normally IN USE by having Windows loaded and running.

When done, tell bios to boot from device that was the Target Drive.

Boot into that new Windows, delete the old one ( D:\ format)

I use Acronis, and it works like a charm. Really simple. 

 

See this video for a walkthrough-

IKR

 

But it saves typing PAGES upon PAGES for the un-initiated.

Cos you can't be sure that keeping it simple gets through to everybody.
