Windows 10: Clone HDD, with OS and data, to SSD

I'm needed of your help, I recently got an SSD to upgrade my Lenovo Yoga 300 with Windows 10 Home Single Lamguage, I cleaned and format the SSD and used Macrium to clone, but it showed me a window saying that I couldn't acces that folder, I changed the security and the problem went on, then I tried AOMEI and anothe error was shown, advicing me to execute CHKDSK in CMD, did it, it shown some errors, cleaned and format the disk again, so, right now I can't clone my HDD to my SSD without errors showing up, what you do in this situation o has ut happened to you?

Cloned OS to SSD want to delete old OS on hdd

Not sure if this was answered(cant find 1) but recently cloned windows 10 from HDD to SSD. My HDD was setup as GPT and the partition was setup with the OS as almost the full 1tb size. I had and currently have alot of used space that i dont wanna lose if
it can be avoided. The whole cloning process was a pain having to move stuff to the ssd then partition the empty space on hdd the move stuff to the new partition until I had less than 200g with the OS still there so I can clone it onto ssd after cleaning
it. Os works fine(windows loads sooo much faster) old hdd works fine but wanna get rid of the old os on hdd without deleting anything else? Sorry so long and sadly I merged the partitions back to 1.

If you used a program to clone the HDD to the SSD you should not have moved stuff to the SSD as the cloning should have done all the moving.

If you are back to the HDD this is where you should have had the partitions setup. 1TB for the OS is too big. Most of your data like Photos should be in a separate drive. You should have a C:\ drive with Windows 10 and your programs and apps on it. Other
data should be placed on other drives.

A:\ and B:\ are usually reserved for Floppy disks even though you may not have any. D:\ is usually the CD/DVD drive. E:\ and others are used as data drives or other disks like a backup disk.

 

Move OS to SSD leave data in HDD

I would clone the HDD to the SSD. Then format the HDD and set up a number of partitions for the different kinds of data. Then move the data from the SSD to the different partitions on the HDD.

Then you might want to reduce the size of the C:\ partition and put a couple partitions on the SSD for those things that need the speed.

There are some free programs to do the clone. I use EaseUS ToDo Backup.
