    OS from HDD to SSD


    I’m trying to migrate my operating system from the HDD to SSD however when I choose, which one I want it to go to( the ssd) it says cannot use source disk. This doesn’t make any sense because windows folder is clearly on the HDD and I use the HDD as a boot drive so I can not select that as the destination either. Anyone know what’s going on?

    move windows os from ssd to hdd

    Hi DaveM121,

    Actually i had cloned my ssd to hdd and it was booting perfectly from hdd .But after that i had formatted my ssd and it stopped booting from hdd.Then i install windows again on ssd and created
    dual boot using easy bcd.Now it is booting perfectly from HDD and SSD but if i remove os from ssd then it stops working.But i don't want os on ssd and it should boot only from hdd.So what should i do ?
