How to clone Windows 10 HDD to SSD free without software?
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...
I was in the same boat with my painfully slow PC, and while there's no truly "software-free" way, I used the DiskCopy and it cloned everything perfectly—this is the tutorial that saved me.
there isn't a reliable way to clone a drive for free without using any software, Windows doesn't have a built-in tool that can do a direct drive-to-drive clone while the system is running.
For free options, you've got a few good choices. I used WittyTool Disk Clone (worked and free) , Macriam Reflec or Acros True Image (if your SSD manufacturer offers a free edition).
Suggest you try all of them to see if work for you...
