Windows 10: Move Windows 10 to new SSD/PCIe card

Hello,


I have been googling this topic and it always seems to lead to getting some 3rd party cloning software or doing a re-install.

I never see microsoft.com answers.


Is there a way within Windows 10 to move the OS to another disk? or copy the existing C drive to a new drive and re-label it C?


Thanks in advance for replies.

Alienware 17 R3 PCIE SSD Problems

There's a possibility that the slot where you inserted the new PCIE SSD isn't recognizing it, reason for it not to show in Device Manager. If there's another slot on the motherboard of your computer, we suggest that you reseat the PCIE card. There could
also a setting in BIOS that needs to be checked for the new PCIE card to be recognized. It would be best to seek assistance with the manufacturer of your device when it comes to hardware. However, we're just here should you need further assistance.

We're looking forward to your feedback.

 

Clone present nvme pcie ssd to replacement nvme pcie ssd?

I have a 500GB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe SSD (boot drive) that I want to replace with a higher capacity M.2 card.

Where do I put the new SSD during the NVMe to NVMe cloning process? My mobo only has one M.2 slot for NVMe SSD's so do I want to use an external adapter for one of the M.2 cards? If so, do you have a recommendation?

If you have solved this issue for your desktop or laptop I would like your advice on if and what extra hardware you needed during the cloning.

please remember that I am dealing with PCIe NVMe drives ONLY. NO Sata is involved except possibly for a connecting cable from the desktop to an adapter. I am experienced with cloning SATA III drives but cloning NVMe is a little
new to me.

Computer: Dell XPS 8920, 32GB ram.

Present SSD: KXG50ZNV512G NVMe Toshiba 512GB

New SSD: CT13049074 Crucial P1 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD 1TB (or 2TB if available soon) or similar storage device.

Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, version 1809.
