    Migrating from 1TB HDD to 4TB


    Hello fellow tenforums users, I am having a bit of a dilemma. I have a 4TB HDD that I want to install in place of my current disk and I am not sure how to make an exact clone of my C drive. I have an external usb 3.0 docking station for sata drives and was going to just use that for the extra space(no room inside my tower to install both internally) but found that after formatting, the speed of data transfer is sub-par. So I decided I want to swap the 4tb with my internal 1tb. That way I can have the benefit of optane on the new drive. I looked this up and see that there are many different solutions but the most ideal method seems to differ on a case by case basis.
    Here's my sys specs:

    1TB HDD not Migrated

    Why am I seeing this error? New 1TB HDD, and why is Windows not letting me use the HDD.

    OS Migration

    I have a PC that has become very slow at booting up. Sometimes it takes so long to be ready to use, I have to re-boot it again in order for it so be useable at all. It has 2 x 1TB HDDs in it & the one with the OS on it is at about 95% full. So I guess that
    this could be the reason it is so slow to get going.

    • Would it improve it at all if I was to migrate the OS onto an SSD?
    • Is it possible to migrate the OS alone to the SSD & leave all the data on the HDD?
    • If it is, what then happens to the OS on the HDD?
    • Also what happens to access to existing data in Windows folders like Documents, music etc?
    So many questions.

    This is probably in the wrong section but I couldn't find anything appropriate.

    Migrating from 1TB HDD to 4TB

    Migrating hdd

    I was wondering if migrating from a SSD to SSD is same as HDD to SSD and also if the hard drive with the operating systems had bad sectors on it, would the migration still continue successfully? Thanks
