Windows 10: Migrating Windows from small SSD to large SSD

Hi all,I need to replace my current C drive SSD too small with a larger SSD. Windows updates are resource pigs and I'm almost out of space. I've read several articles and it seems it either takes two or three simple steps using the free Macrium Clone function or the Windows Image Backup function and then Ease US. That method is as long winded as sending a man to the moon and back. Very confusing!Can ANYONE provide a simple set of instructions?

Migrate Windows 10 to SSD

I recently upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. My Windows 8.1 was originally installed on a small SSD in my laptop. When I upgraded to Windows 10, it installed to my larger HDD. Is there a way to migrate my OS to the SSD without having to uninstall
all my program files?

 

Migrating OS from a small SSD to a larger SSD

I would do this:

1. Use the free version of Macrium Reflect to create an image of drive C:. Park it on drive D:.
2. Create an image of the EFI System Partition.
3. Create a Macrium Reflect rescue flash disk.
4. Disconnect the old SSD. Connect the new SSD.
5. Boot the machine with the rescue flash disk.
6. Restore the image to the new SSD.

In case the machine refuses to boot, you might have to use the commands bcdedit.exe, bootrec.exe and bcdboot.exe to repair the boot environment. Since I rarely use these commands, I am unable to give you precise instructions on their use. If all fails you
can reconnect the old SSD.

 

Win10 migration to SSD

I am adding an SSD and want to migrate Win10 to it. My current HDD has too many files on it to migrate all, because the size of the SSD is smaller than the HDD. Where can I find out what files and folders are essential to operate Win10 and exclude all
other files so I can meet the size requirements of my SSD?
