Windows 10 OS SSD migration

chappi

I currently have a 120GB SSD running my OS and some other programs

Also a 1TB harddrive holding games / photos etc

 

My SSD is becoming slow and I have purchased a new SSD (120GB) 

How can I move my OS onto the new SSD most efficiently ?

I do have some programs and a few games on my SSD

 

thanks in advance  :D

no it will clone it, as in make an exact copy of everything on the drive. 

 

I don't personally have a program recommendation, i usually just google and use the first one unless its shady

Do you have reason to believe that the SSD itself is slow? If not I would suggest you do a clean install. Your SSD running slowly might be related to your OS being old, and cloning it would simply move this old-ness onto the new SSD.
