Make sure the target drive is larger than the source drive.
Hey! You can follow the steps below:
Backup your files: you have backed up your important files, great, so you can avoid problems in case there are any.
Choose a cloning tool: you can try these tools:
Clonezilla (open source, for users with some technical background)
Donemax disk clone (easy to use, free version available)
Macrium Reflect (free, powerful)
Start cloning: Connect the new SSD, run the software, select the source hard disk (HDD) and the target hard disk (SSD), and start cloning. Make sure there is enough space on the SSD.
Change boot order: After cloning is complete, reboot your computer and set the SSD as the boot disk.
Check the system: After booting up the computer, check that everything is OK and that programs and files are working.
Note:
If the SSD is larger than the source hard disk, you can adjust the partition size when cloning to avoid space waste.
Sometimes you may need to reinstall some drivers, especially storage drivers.
Wish you good luckļ¼
