So I'm about to reset my PC and clean everything on it and then clone my HDD to my SSD, will that mean my Windows gets moved to my SSD? Doing this since I can't find my USB stick and do a fresh install.

 

I am using Macrium.

My OS is Windows 10. 

My HDD is Seagate Barracuda 1Tb and SSD is HyperX Fury 240Gb.

Follow the tutorial :) it will work my friend :) Yes it will 

 

So what will happen to the Windows on the HDD? Since you're cloning it, I'm guessing it just copies everything on it and pastes it into the SSD? How do I get rid of the old stuff?

Sorry for the late reply, sleep calls. Before you clone your hd, delete your old shit that you don't need, or back up your data and do a clean install

So I'm trying to clone my HDD to SSD, it has been recently wiped. Only a few small apps, Steam, Skype and Chrome etc but it says it is too big to move to the SSD? The SSD has nothing in it, 223GB free space. The HDD doesn't even have 30 Gigs on it. What am I supposed to do?

Well I can actually clone it but it won't be in order (1, 2, 3) but instead 1, 3, 2. Will that cause any issues?

I,m not too sure. I don't see it being an issue, however if you follow the gudie i think it says about you cannot go back to windows 7. You will be able to fit your hd on to your ssd you will have to take away number 3 by 2 then it should fit.

Well I did it in 1, 3, 2 and it created ''another drive'' https://gyazo.com/cb7004e1f6ee65a1bdac9f7c55a94e76

 

Only 100MB Space on it, why did it do that and would it be safe to remove it?
