At that time you can verify that you see the new SSD. If it shows an error reboot into the bios and override the boot location to go to the USB. Plug in the MR Rescue on the USB and boot up. Once cloning is done you can power down and swap the SSDs. There a lot of videos on YouTube as well that cover all versions and various drive types. Select destination and look over the options. In the backup tab select all partitions of the stock SSD and clone under that. This can be turned off later if you like.

From the other tools menu item choose Add Boot Menu so you get a choice when Windows first boots up. Going off of memory you will need to create a Windows boot disc (USB) and a Macrium Rescure disc (USB). I know it also supports TRIM when going from regular HD to SSD. With MR it does let you clone from most if not all drive types.

The only software I have used in the last 10+ years is Macrium Reflect (MR) since it works very well and is not expensive.

Make sure to install all updates to Windows, Drivers and Apps so you don't have to do it as much after the move. So that will give you the same recovery, system, C, and WinRe (IIRC) that are on the factory SSD. I would recommend cloning the whole stock SSD as it will clone all 4 partitions. Your games can be redownloaded/reinstalled to the HDD after the clone and reformatting the old HDD.The nice thing about cloning, is it is a duplicate so you don't have to worry about drivers. Then in the software, choose to clone the entire disk, not a paritition. The clone the entire disk, old to new, after rebooting from doing your disk cleanup and such. Once you uninstall your games and cleanup the OS drive like I explained above, you should be left with plenty of space and the used space should now be well below even 100gb area. Partition 3: the rest of the drive space.Īvailable space will be below 250 once formatted, which you don't do for a disk clone as that will do it for you, including partition sizes and transfer. Otherwise you will render the OS on the new drive useless, as it won't contain what's needed to be able to boot. Yes doing a whole/entire Disk Clone is required. Source Drive = whatever this says for Used Space = less then the Total Space of Target Drive. Now this location will be an available option whenever installing Steam apps/games. Then launch Steam via Run As Admin option, go to settings, downloads, steam library folder, select the D drive (or drive letter or the old HDD you just wiped amd reformatted) and then Make New Folder, then select that folder to be a steam library folder location. and now your old drive will be fresh and blank. Then create new Volume as MBR, NTFS, Quick Format. While in here, wipe all the partitions/volumes off the old OS drive. Once inside your OS on the new drive (you can verify this by the drive letters shown for all drives in Disk Management. Then set the New drive as the only boot device option. Once done, restart Windows but enter the BIOS next post. Now you should be able to clone without issues. If don't have that software get it from the drive makers support website. Then run the clone software from the maker of the new drive. Run Disk Cleanup via Run As Admin option and tick every box available except for "Downloads" then click OK to wipe all that Temp junk. More will get created over time as you do various installs, uninstalls, or Windows Updates. Go to System Restore, wipe all the restore data/points. Launch CMD via the run as admin option and type POWERCFG -H OFF then press ENTER and then restart Windows. To clean up the os drive of junk, do the following.ĭisable Hibernation by actually removing the file from the OS drive. Removing all the games off the os drive and ridding the drive of junk is the easiest way to ensure that. No matter how you do it, the source drive has to have less used space then the target drive has total space.
