Best method to move windows 11 to another drive SSD?

If the new SSD drive is made by Samsung, then you can use the official Samsung Data Migration software to move Windows 11 to another SSD drive. It s a user-friendly, purpose-built software solution designed specifically for users upgrading their system drive to a Samsung SSD. It simplifies the complex process of migrating your entire Windows operating system, installed applications, and personal files by automatically cloning the source drive onto the new Samsung drive.

Connect your original drive (with Windows 11) and the new Samsung SSD to your PC. Download the latest version of Samsung Data Migration from the official Samsung website and install it on your current Windows system.

Install the new Samsung SSD internally (SATA or M.2 NVMe slot) or connect it via a USB-to-SATA/NVMe adapter.

Run Samsung Data Migration as an administrator. The software will automatically detect your current source drive (typically your C: drive) and list it on the left. Your new Samsung SSD will appear as the destination drive on the right. Select it.

Samsung Data Migration will show a preview of how the data will be copied to the new drive. It automatically handles partitioning. If the target SSD is larger, you will see unallocated space. You can manually adjust the size of the main system partition here if desired.

The software will copy all partitions necessary for booting (EFI, Recovery, and the primary OS partition). Do not interrupt the process, which may take from several minutes to over an hour, depending on data volume. Upon completion, you will see a "Cloning Complete" message.

Samsung Data Migration provides a streamlined, reliable cloning process tailored for moving Windows 11 to another drive. It is now an excellent choice for a hassle-free system migration. By automatically handling critical boot partitions and system data, it eliminates the complexity for the end-user.
