    questions re swapping 1TB HDD with a 1TB SSD


    I have a fairly new Dell 8900 and want to swap its 1TB HDD with a new Crucial 1TB SSD
    I plan to clone the existing HDD using Macrium7 to the new SSD, then remove the HDD and install the new SSD in its place.
    Would this work? Would the currently existing SATA cable work with the new SSD? Any tips or advice would be appreciated
    Thanks for your help

    :)

    Transfer OS from 512 to 1tb SSD


    I'm in the process of building a new rig. I would like to transfer the OS from my current 512 SSD to a 1tb SSD. My Os is already linked to my MS account and I printed out the steps about using the troubleshooter after a significant hardware change. The Question is: Can I clone the 512 to the 1tb or does it require a clean install? OS is Win 10 Pro.

    Replacing 120GB SSD with 1 TB HDD

    When I first built my PC, my 120GB SSD C: drive was plenty big enough since I had a 1TB HDD D: drive. Now though I am hitting the limit of my SSD and I want to migrate to a new 1 TB HDD. I cloned and swapped and it booted, but Windows is still only seeing
    120GB of my new 1TB drive. How do I fix this?
