Windows 10 on HDD to a new SSD

I have recently replaced the 500 GB HDD in my laptop running Windows 10 with a 480 GB SSD. The laptop was fully configured with my applications and other settings. The steps I took were as follows:

1) Shrink the C: drive so it was significantly smaller than the SSD (by at least 100 GB) using the Disk Management tools in W10.

2) Copy all the files from D: onto an external HDD.

3) Download Ubuntu Linux and burn on to a DVD.

4) Download Windows 10 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and burn this on to a DVD.

5) Close down and boot the laptop from the Ubuntu DVD from step 3 (I used a USB DVD rewriter).

6) Plug in the external HDD.

7) Open a Linux terminal and cd to the external HDD.

8) Copy the C: partition to the external HDD using a command such as:

dd bs=1024k if=/dev/sda1 of=C-drive

where sda1 is adjusted to point to the correct partition.

9) Close down and remove the external HDD.

10) Remove the HDD and replace with the SSD.

11) Perform a clean install Windows 10 from the DVD from step 4. Deleting all partitions from the SSD if it has had any created on it. When it asked for the product key, there was an option to enter it later. Make sure that the C: drive that is created is
the same size or bigger than the C: drive was on the HDD.

12) Repeat steps 5, 6 and 7 then run the command

dd bs=1024k if=C-drive of=/dev/sda4

With the clean install of W10 64bit, sda4 was the C: drive on the SSD after the installation.

13) Reboot from the SSD. The first couple of times my laptop reported errors and went into repair and diagnostic cycles. The last one said something like Reboot or Go to further tools. I cannot remember the exact messages but the meaning was as I have described.
I rebooted and Windows 10 came up and ran perfectly.

14) With the SSD working I shrank the C: drive a few GB to make sure the physical space was the same size as the actual filesystem.

15) Create a D: format it and copy all the saved files on to the new D: from the external HDD.

Job done. All my applications worked perfectly and the laptop connected to my wireless network without needing the pass phrase re-entering. I had tried several other ways of cloning the HDD to the SSD, but as the SSD was 20 GB smaller this was the only way
I managed to get it to work.

I hope this helps others to make the HDD to SSD transition.

 

Windows 10 on HDD to a new SSD

Hi, So I recently upgraded my win 8.1 on an HDD that came pre-installed on my laptop to win 10. I am currently planning to purchase an SSD and replace my HDD with it. However, my question is how exactly would I do that? Do I clone my HDD to the SSD? or
would I be able to use the windows creation tool to clean install win 10 on the new SSD after installing it into my laptop? Any help would be appreciated! If anyone has done this process already, please let me know how you did it! Thanks!

 

HDD to SSD change in OEM windows 10 laptop

First post in this community !

So, I own a HP laptop which came with windows 8 home activated, i updated it with windows 10 a few years back.

Recently I was facing performance issues, so decided to change the 512 GB HDD with new 240 GB SSD. The laptop's internal components are a bit delicate due to some damage , so I decide to get it done by a local technician. He added a new SSD and removed the
HDD , he installed whole new Windows 10 pro trial system on the SSD. All the data on the HDD is intact as it was just physically removed. I don't have the time to setup everything new, and also don't want to give up my activated windows.
What is the best way to copy the OS and files of my old drive to the new SSD ? I have a SATA to USB cable, so prefer doing so without
physically installing the old HDD due to delicate laptop and just externally via USB.

I only want to copy the C partition as the whole HDD data wont fit in the new smaller SSD. The technician is reluctant and says something like this is not possible. But I don't think a simple storage device change will require fresh install and giving up
original windows. I'm stuck-up in the whole process and unable to do my work properly. Please help me out here, if possible...
