    Move windows to new ssd


    I am near ssd limit and thinking of copying what is in current ssd to a new ssd with larger storage.It will be just Windows, what is in ssd to a new ssd without other hardware changes.After checking this link,How to Copy Your Windows Installation to an SSDI was not sure how to boot into BIOS settings and what is USB for?Any suggestion, I appreciate.

    Move windows to new ssd

    New windows 10 installtion on New SSD - wont boot unless old SSD present

    It seems you installed Windows while the both SSDs were connected. This would have caused your current problem. Maybe it is sufficient to do this:

    1. Launch the Disk Manager.
    2. Right-click drive C:, then mark it as "active".
    3. Shut down Windows
    4. Open the BIOS and tell it that the new SSD is the primary boot device.
    5. Disconnect the old SSD.
    6. Boot up normally.

    If this does not work then you might have to do this:

    1. Disconnect the old SSD.
    2. Re-install Windows on the new SSD, using the Media Creation Tool.
