How Do I Move My Operating System To A SSD

How do I move my os to a SSD.

So hey guys I am looking towards replace my laptop HDD which has a SSD. My laptop would be the Toshiba Satellite l70 pro 17.3". I have a essense of doing transferring windows 8 with an SSD but apparently it truly is harder to transfer Windows 10 to some SSD in comparison to Windows 8 and 7. So can someone please help me at the time of how do i accomplish this, i would personally really many thanks for help

Personally I use Paragon software for all those disk management and backup tasks, but it's not free. I know a number of people who rely on MiniTool Partition Wizard because of this type of task. See below for that product link and instructions for SSD transfer

MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition 9.1

Please read my sig pertaining to backups. If you don't complete a backup first plus it all it's wrong...well...you'd have yourself to blame in case you didn't backup first.

Good luck!

Thank you greatly !

Also I have heard good reports about it program:

You must take disk and partition size into consideration when you're moving from your larger HD with a smaller capacity SSD and never all cloning or copying software can take care of it properly. Apparently the above mentined program can, but I are yet to used it myself. It costs about $20 but worth the cost if it has a great balance properly. As always, be sure you have a good backup of one's user data beforehand.

If you desire the best results, change your system to Windows 10 first, after burning your data. Once 10 is installed an activated, pull the previous drive and perform a clean install of Windows 10. Not only will the OS be installed properly to have an SSD (because it's detected in the install process), however, you will have the cleanest, most effective Windows 10 install while using latest drivers.

Macrium can be another good cloning tool free and simple to use. Agreed fully with DeaconFrost backup your HD before the install.

The guide really applies to your desktop PC with 2 drives. For a laptop, you'll have to image your system for an external drive, install the revolutionary SSD then boot for the Macrium Reflect Recovery disc to regenerate the image in your SSD.

I miss the mention of MiniTool Partition Wizard in Post 2 - that's for managing your disk partitions, not backup/imaging.

I would backup your overall system first (using Macrium Reflect Free?), perform W10 upgrade and then perform SSD transfer. You''ll have 2 system backups so that you will be covered no matter what!

I used a Samsung 840 EVO (for Laptop PC Upgrade) which came having a simple connector to require between the SSD data/power connectors & the USB port for the laptop. The supplied software worked flawlessly to transfer the OS across to your SSD.
