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
3. Once installed, run Paragon Migrate OS to SSD, click yes to the UAC if prompted.
4. Read the welcome screen and click next.
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.
Hi Miguel,
I’m writing to you because I have this situation: I have an SSD 120gb 2,5″ instaled with the OS, and then I both an SSD 512gb m.2 2280 so it is necessary to migrate every thin to the new. I’ve tried another’s Softwares that promise me do the same thing off yours. They clone every thing but the boot of windows does not work even using a Windows bootable pen drive to recover the boot. I watched a lot of movies, and I’m inclined to buy the recommendation software. If does not work can a get my money back? Do you have any information to help me?
yes you can get your money back.
