Hello,

I was wondering what the best software tool for OS Drive migration is.

 

I got a Samasung 850 M.2 SSD for Christmas but had issues with a flickering screen every time I booted from it. Well long story short after a month of back and forth with samsung they told me to stop using their tool and use something better. Please Help What tool should I use?

 

Preferably Free

Hi,

 

the Paragon disk manager has a 30 day free trial and can handle disk migration very well, as well as backups, OS migration etc. Czech it out.

Really the best option is just a fresh install. You should never clone/migrate an OS from one drive to another. It's always going to have issues and lead towards a clean install a few months down the road.

What do you mean by no keys or anything?

That's quite unfortunate. You could always contact customer support of the programs you need keys for if the migration software mentioned above doesn't work. You obviouslly won't need a Windows Key, you could also look into a way to link your keys with an account through the programs and just reinstall programs based off that account.
