Windows 10: Help: Installing (or moving) Windows 10 to a different drive

Hi everyone;

I recently got an SSD for my work laptop and I'm trying to find a guide to move or simply reinstall Windows 10 to this drive because by default it's installed on a mechanical drive.

I have created a bootable backup on a USB but I also have my original windows 10 thumb drive. I thought I could "simply" boot from that USB and choose to do a fresh install, pick a drive and go... But I can't find such an option.
Looking for tutorials I've found plenty of tools that theoretically can move your installation to a different drive, but they're all +40€ and I don't plan on doing this often... Is there no other way?

I don't mind losing information, formatting the main drive or whatever, I have everything backed up! I just want to do a fresh install on the SSD. Can you help me? Can you link the right tutorial?

Thanks!

How to move installed apps from one drive to another drive in Windows 10?

Hello,

As your concern is to move the apps from one drive to another drive, we will help you with this issue.

I recommend you to try the below steps to move the apps and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key, click on Settings option.
• Click on System, and on Apps & features to view all installed apps and their installation size.
• Click on the app entry that you would like to move to a different drive to see
  Move and Uninstall options. Click Move
  button and then select a drive of your choice to move the app.

NOTE: When you click on a traditional desktop program or an app that came preinstalled with Windows 10, Windows 10 offers only Uninstall option and you can’t move desktop applications using this method.

Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updated status of this issue for further assistance. We will be happy to help you.

Thank you.
