How to?

[begadelavela]

Hi, I am planing to buy my gaming build and right now I don't have money for SSD so I think I will just buy HDD WD 1 TB for now and what I want to know is is it posible to transfer Windows 10 64 bit to ssd when I buy it from hdd. If it is possile write HOW TO.

You should buy the SSD first, then the HDD. Moving your OS can cause problems, but moving your user files is natively supported by Windows. (And you'll get much better performance from day 1)

It is possible, but its not recommended. If you're going to go from one disk to another with your OS, its best to do a fresh install. If you still want to clone, then you can look at something like Macrium Reflect to make a disk clone.

Well if you buy a samsung SSD the samsung magician does an amazing job in less than 10 minutes and its always booted for me, the only issue being you have to re activate windows

I have to admit windows 10 does handle this better than older systems. I did this for someone and swapped their HDD into another laptop, having accidentally missed the boot windows installer cd option it booted perfectly and installed all drivers by itself. Windows 7 never did that ever

Thats an older SSD, it is still decent, but the default, go to choice these days is the 850 evo for the best performance.

if it around the same cap or greater go ahead

In all honestly, in my opinion the models really dont matter if your coming from a hard drive. If you really want an extra 0.3 seconds off boot then yeah but otherwise given the choice today I would go for 750 over 850 as its cheaper per GB but not by much
