How to migrate windows 10 to ssd

[rhysj6]

I recently got a new SSD so to save space on my HDD I created a new partition, however, I want to clone the drive but not the new partition what software should I use? Thanks in advanced

Edit: I have a Sandisk SSD plus 120gb

Norton GHOST. Works great with things just like that.

 

No, it's not free

If it's a Samsung SSD, you can download this directly from their website. I'm not sure if this software will work with any other SSD brands

I would still give it a shot, it might work.

it's less of a headache to just do a fresh install.

not really.

I can close a drive/partition from GHOST, with 1 command, about 4 switches, and 15 minutes.

If its possible try fresh installation of Win 10 in the ssd. It makes sure none of the old junk transfers and unnecessarily consumes more disk space as well as bog down the ssd.

I recently did the same with my new ssd. Trust me, its the most efficient your system can be.

What if I did that but copied the old programs over that I need?

can't do that. programs have to be re-installed, because of .dlls and registry entries.

OK I'm currently moving most of the files from the new partition to an external drive so I can just clone the whole drive and delete the new partition from the SSD and delete the old c partition on the HDD

You can try Easeus ToDo

 

They offer a free version. You can download it from this link.

 

During installation though mind the bloatware that they try to install

 

You should be good with that

 

Am planning to migrate my SSD to an M.2 sometime this week - will post you with updates if you think that'd be helpful

During installation of asked me if it could install some additional software (can't remember the name off the top of my head)

Good to know you got it sorted though
