    Replacing a laptop hard drive with a SSD

    I have a Dell Latitude E5420 laptop which has a Windows 10 Pro O/S. I would appreciate a step by step guide on the procedure to replace the hard drive with a Solid State drive; specifically dealing with the transfer of all the software from the old drive to the new. I have an external hard drive I use for backups and a free version of the Macrium Reflect program on the hard drive. The SSD is brand new. I have just 50 GB in total on the 231 GB hard drive. The SSD has 250 GB capacity.

    Replacing a laptop hard drive with a SSD

    Hello Bree and others,
    I replaced my laptop hard drive with a SSD successfully. I used my external drive and Macrium Reflect to make a system image of the laptop hard drive as suggested and transferred the image to the new SSD using my Macrium Boot Recovery flash drive. The only hiccup occured when I came to move the four partions onto the SSD. It seems one has to do this by moving the "C" partion last. If you try to do it before moving the the other three partions the "C" partion grabs all the available space.

    Not sure what you did but I've never seen this in the hundreds of times I've used Macrium to restore an image. You did restore the entire drive and not partition by partition, right? If not that was the problem.
