  1. Migrate Windows 10 to new SSD from HHD


    Hi, i have installed a new SSD into my PC and would like to migrate Windows 10 into the new SSD from my old HHD. I do not have a USB or CD disk at hand and since im in quarantine i cannot obtain one at the moment. I was wondering though since i want to completely reformat my HHD anyway could i reformat the HHD and when its fresh and only with Windows 10 installed could i then migrate the files onto the SSD and make it into the boot up disk without problems? Thank you!

    :)

    Migrating from SSHD to SSD

    How would one migrate a SSHD to SSD? The bootable files are on the 24Gb hybrid part of the HHD. Is it possible to combine the Hybrid part and the HHD part and then clone them to the SSD?

  3. Windows 10 HHD to SSD Transfer

    I just purchased an SSD that I want to use as my primary disk. Before this SSD I was (and still am sadly) using an HHD. I have already migrated all of my files using an application called 'Data Migration'. This is my first time doing something like this
    and I'm already incredibly confused. I want to be able to boot up my computer on nothing but my SSD but I don't know how to Transfer windows 10 over to my SSD so I can remove my HHD entierly. Is there any way I can do this without purchasing a windows 10 boot
    disk as I've been told I need to?

    Windows 10 HHD to SSD migration

    Hi Qraven,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We do not have an option to transfer only the OS from HDD to SSD. But the best option would be to do a clean install on SSD. After the installation, SSD will have the Active partition, so that it will be easier for you to
    recover the pc in future, if you have any trouble.



    I suggest you to follow the steps:



    Note: Make sure that you have backups of all data from the PC as the clean installation will remove all the files and programs from the PC. After the installation you can restore
    the data back to the HDD.



    To do a clean installation, you will need a USB/DVD. You can follow the Microsoft article or check the video suggested by
    PaulSeyHow
    to create Windows 10 installation DVD/USB flash drive Step-by-Step Guide.




    Once the bootable media is created, you can follow the steps in this article on ‘How
    to Clean Install Windows 10 on a PC Step-by-Step
    Guide
    ’ to install the Windows 10 on your SSD.

    Once the system is up and running, you can restore all your files to HDD. Let us know if you need further assistance regarding this issue.


    Hope it helps.
