    Need to migrate Windows 10 installation to new SSD , it's a mess.


    So, without getting into all the technical details before anyone replies, I just bought a 240gig OCZ ssd, to put the OS on to improve performance. I have 3 hdd's installed, and one is a Firecuda, so when I migrated it orignally to the D: drive(the Firecuda), I can't remember how, but I ended up with the boot sector on my original C: drive, and the System and Page file on the new D: drive. So, basically, my windows 10 install is already split up on those 2 drives. Now i just got this SSD, and I have no idea how I could successfully migrate it or clone the install to the ssd, because it's split up, and both drives are bigger than the 240gig SSD. If anyone can help me out with this...i do appreciate it. Thank you.

    :)

  2. Migrating Digitally Licensed Windows 10 to SSD

    I am very confused on how to migrate my current OS to my SSD by using the new ISO by Windows. I have installed the ISO onto a flash drive. I have booted the flash drive and it says that I have to go back and start Windows normally and restart the upgrade
    process. What does this mean? Could anyone give me step-by-step instructions on how to migrate my OS? Also, my Windows 10 is digitally licensed.

  3. 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)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
