    how to migrate only the OS to a new SSD

    to migrate os to SSD, you need a third-party tool. I recommend you AOMEI Partition Assistant. It offers you a feature called Migrate OS to SSD,
    which can help you transfer your os without effort.

    before you start, you need to make sure the system partition on the old hard drive is smaller than or equal to 120GB. Also, you need to download AOMEI Partition Assistant.

    then, see below.

    1. launch AOMEI Partition Assistant

    2. click Migrate os to SSD at the left panel

    3. in the new window, click Next

    4. select an unallocated space or a partition on your SSD

    5. modify the information of your boot partition, including drive letter, size and position. then, click Next and Finish to back to the main page.

    6. click Apply at the top left corner and Proceed to start the pending operation. then, just wait.

  3. Migrate OS to SSD

    I cannot figure out how to move windows 10 os to new SSD. The C drive is not partitioned so the 1.8 TB drive is trying to migrate to the 500gb SSD, which it will not allow me to do. Is there a way to seperate just the OS from the C drive ?

    OS migration to ssd

    I want to migrate my OS to my new ssd, but with the softwares I've downloaded can only move the whole C: drive, but my ssd only has 223gb of storage and I've got in my HDD 500gb of stored stuff. To solve this I made a partition to move all the files that
    weren't files of the OS. When I tried to do this I couldn't move such files. Is there a way to move all my files from the C: drive to the partition or to manually move my OS to the ssd?
