    I'm going to be needing to clone my Win 10 SSD to a new, larger SSD.


    The SSD I'm using now is a 500G and it's getting full, so I have a 1 terabyte* on the way.

    The 500G is set up as SATA. Nothing is wrong, it's just too small so I'll probably use it as data.
    I plan to set the new one up as SATA also, but do I call it "C new" for now or name the old one "C old" and let Windows figure it out?
    New Egg suggested AOMEI free as a good choice for cloning.

    I am still running the free version of Win10 so I'm wondering if I'll need to plea my case to Microsoft to keep using the free version.

    So can I expect smooth sailing, or do you guys see any issues I need to deal with before hand?

    Old drive is a Crucial CT240M500SSD1 ATA
    *New drive:
    *WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5"/7mm Solid State Drive - WDS100T2B0A

    Windows 10 Home
    Version # 10.0.18362 Build 18362

    A screen shot of the Disk Manager is attached.

    I hope to have my courage up in the next couple of days... *Wink

    Thanks in advance

    :)

    Transfer or clone OS from one SSD to larger new SSD

    I currently have windows 10 home on my computer and i want to clone the boot drive SSD (250 Gb) to a new larger 500Gb SSD and have that as my. Boot drive. Which migration software works best with windows 10, free or otherwise. They are Samsung SSD's so
    i was just going to try their migration software that comes with the new SSD. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
