RECOMMENDED: Improve PC performance Migrate to Solid State Drive (SSD)

To Migrate Windows 10 to a solid state drive (SSD) is extremely simple the hardest part would be installing the hard drive. Copying Windows 10 to a new (SSD) will eventually save a lot of time, you don’t have to install all individual programs and configure settings from scratch.

Video Tutorial:

Migrate Windows 10 to an SSD:

1. Install the new SSD on your computer and make sure is installed properly.

2. Download and install Paragon Migrate OS to SSD

5. The Wizard will auto detect the installed drives. It will show you that is going to copy  your Local Disk C: To: the new hard drive you have installed which in this case is Disk 1.

6. Check mark Use all available space for the OS partition. If you leave it unchecked a partition will be created on the destination drive. If you don’t know about partitions then is recommended to check mark that option. Click on Copy button.

7. The copy process can take a long time depending on how much data you have stored on your Local Disk C:

8. Once done, you’ll provide a brief explanation in case you are keeping both drives. In my case I’m only keeping the new hard drive so all we have to do is just turn off the computer, remove the source disk, and keep the  new hard drive which is the destination Drive and turn the computer back on.

9. In case you didn’t check mark Use all available space for the OS partition on the paragon cloning wizard and you wish to use the full space of the hard drive, you could go to Disk management and re-claim that partition.

10. By right click Computer, Manage, Disk Management, Right click C: Drive, Extend Volume…, Next to the wizard, next again, and finish the wizard to Use all available space for the OS partition.
