  1. Speeding up Laptop by Migrating Windows 10 to SSD with a freeware?


    I just bought a Laptop Dell Inspiron 3505 it comes with pre-installed Windows 10 on its HDD which is 1 TB and its extremely slow to boot up and load things So I bought a Kingston 250GB SSD and installed it. Now I need some guidance in order to SHIFT windows 10 to SSD in order to speed things up with a freeware for example Macrium Reflect.



    My main concern is not to lose the OS Win 10 that comes with the laptop and other worries are;



    1. Will shifting OS to SSD will speed things up?

    2. Is Macrium Reflect Free is good for that operation?

    3. Should I clone all partitions recovery and such.? It has one EFI partition, 3 recovery partitions, 1 OS partition and two data partitions See image for reference.

    4. After I clone, how to make the SSD Bootable?

    5. Should I format the OS Partition in the HDD in order to make use of it for other purposes, and how to make it a normal data partition?

    6. I don't want to lose my OS that comes with the Laptop, what other precautions should I take?





    Please help, thank you so much.

    Migrate Windows 10 to SSD

    I recently upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. My Windows 8.1 was originally installed on a small SSD in my laptop. When I upgraded to Windows 10, it installed to my larger HDD. Is there a way to migrate my OS to the SSD without having to uninstall
    all my program files?

  3. 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.
