Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.In this tutorial you 'll find detailed instructions to clone a hard disk using the Macrium Reflect Free software. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Here are some step by step tutorials to help you clone with Macrium: If you want only Windows on your new drive, you will need to do a clean reinstallation. There is no way to move just Windows to the new drive, the clone will take everything on the drive and make a perfect copy of all the data including documents, photos, and programs.
Macrium will even allow you to clone a larger drive to a smaller one (like going from a 500GB to a 256GB), assuming the total used space is still small enough. Once completed, you can shut down, replace the drive, and boot back up with the new one. You simply connect both drives to your PC (you can even use a USB enclosure if this is a laptop and can't connect both at the same time), run Macrium, and instruct it to clone your drive. The free edition allows you to clone your current drive to your replacement drive, all from within Windows and while you continue to use the PC. In general, the easiest way to go about this is with the program Macrium Reflect.
There are many reasons to do this, like you got a new SSD to replace your old HDD, or you want to make a backup. Hey OP, it looks like you are looking for information on cloning your drive or migrating from one drive to another. I need easy to follow instructions on how I can move my current OS drive (be it C or the F reserve or whatever) to the new SSD (which has not yet been installed, I want to understand how to do this first).Ĭan someone possibly take the time to break this down for me in a way my brain can understand? I'm experienced in software and programming, I have experience putting PCs together, but I haven't messed with stuff like this before and I'm very nervous. I don't have any sort of cloud storage I can feasibly use since any storage I do have is full of my work backups (I'm a game dev). I don't have an external hard drive nor any means to get one currently.
I have a 14GB flash drive that is formatted to NFTS (or whatever it's called). I have two HDD, both with tons of space on them still. Disc C is the main one, it's 111GB and currently only has 9.75GB free. The current SSD is partitioned (I think) and has a 'system reserve (F:)' that I don't touch on my pc. I would like to move it to a new SSD that I just purchased, which is 1TB.
I have Windows 10 on an SSD, but it's running out of space rapidly. There are TONS of websites that go over this, but they all rely on something I don't have: an external hard drive.
