I have a backup PC running Windows 10 and it becomes very slowly when editing videos. I doubt it is the issue with the internal hard drive. So I bought a new compatible SSD and want to move all staff...

There is no direct way to clone Windows 10 OS to SSD because Windows doesn't have a built-in disk cloning utility. But you can use Backup and Restore to create a system image on an external drive, and then restore the system image Windows 10 to the new SSD.

Cloning disk is also another effective way to completely transfer everything from your old Windows 10 HDD to SSD without reinstalling Windows.

Disk Copy is a reliable one that you can trust with confidence. This tool is specially designed to clone disks/partitions, migrate OS, and create a bootable external hard drive. By using it, you can easily migrate Windows 10 to SSD without reinstalling or losing any data.
