    Transferring OS


    Hey all, Today I bought an SSD to put in my desktop and want to transfer my OS over to the SSD from the HDD so I can use the HDD purely for storage. Is there any way to do this without downloading third party software?

    :)

    Help with OS Transfer on a new build

    Need some help figuring out what I need to do for a fresh build tomorrow. I will be moving off of my old CPU and mobo to a new X99 system. Right now I have my OS on a Sata SSD and want to transfer it onto a new NVME drive.

    Some issues:
    • I have a windows 10 upgrade from a RETAIL windows 7 license so I should have migration rights correct?
    • I have 3 other non-OS drives so after I do the install with my old/ current Microsoft account will my fresh install of windows recognise those drives?
    If you guys could shed some light on how to do this or advice please lend a hand. thanks!

    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.

    OS and programs transfer?

    So I got my SSD present early, but my OS is on my HDD. Is there a way to transfer everything over without reinstalling? I know EASEus has a transfer thing but I'm not sure on how to go about it.
