  1. Migrating W10 from SSD to USB and then to new SSD


    Hi

    Some months ago, I bought a new Custom-built PC with a 128G M2 SSD, where Windows lives. Over the months, this SSD has become too full with Program Installs to allow for Windows updates (where it needs to make another copy...). So I have bought a new Samsung 500G M2 SSD, and I'm now trying to migrate the Windows install across to that, while keeping all my program data intact (so, cloning the old SSD...). The Samsung Migration Magician will not copy the Windows install to USB, and my motherboard only has one M2 slot.


    Is there a way to clone my old SSD to USB, then back to the new SSD once in place on the motherboard? Or, failing that, is an SSD adaptor a good idea, so that I can run the two M2 SSDs together, and use the Magician to clone the old SSD to the new, then boot Windows from that?


    TIA for any advice...

    :)

  2. Migrating OS to new SSD

    I currently have WIN 10 installed on my current 120gb SSD, I upgraded to WIN 10 from WIN 8 (I still have the key for WIN 8), I want to replace my current SSD for my new 500gb SSD, how can I migrate to the new SSD (note, I don't want to keep anything i
    currently have on my SSD, I essentially want a fresh install)

    Migrating W10 from SSD to USB and then to new SSD

    how to migrate only the OS to a new SSD

    Hi, you have two options. The first one: create a image backup of your system, then create a bootable USB/CD. Then shut down the computer and connect SSD. Go to BIOS when booting and change the boot type to USB drive. At last click repair your computer and
    restore with the image backup.

    The second one is much eaiser, all you need is a system clone tool. However, you have to pay this tool.

    For the detailed steps, go to see this article: Two ways to
    migrate Windows 7 to SSD
    without reinstalling Windows.
