If you’ve ever used Clonezilla, the interface is right out of 1980, not a problem until something goes wrong and an inscrutable error message and shut down follow. I’ve used Clonezilla many times to clone equal or larger drives, works great. Even though the original drive was 25% full and should have easily fit on the new drive, shrinking the OS partition, which was stuck at about 1 TB min, sufficiently for a successful clone took a number of attempts. This was a pain! The pain part was going from a large drive to a smaller one. Wow, I just did that on a Dell desktop, went from a 2 TB HDD to 1 TB SSD. Make sure the computer is off and unplugged. If you are connecting the SSD via USB, you can open your computer, take out the existing HDD and put the SSD card in its place. After you successfully clone your data to the SSD, shut down your computer. It will first format the SSD to the necessary format, then copy (clone) all the data from the HDD to the SSD.Ħ. Ensure that your target partition (the SSD) does not have any data you need since it will be formatted during the process.ĥ. After selecting the relevant options, click Start. Check “Set the target partition as the boot disk.” This will allow you to boot from the SSD drive once the cloning is complete.Ĥ.
Click on Copy, then select the source partition (your HDD drive) and a target partition (your SSD).ģ. Download and install CloneGo in Windows 10 and then open the program.Ģ. If you prefer to use Clonezilla, we have a tutorial for that too.ġ. The free version has limited functionality but is available to all and can perform OS and data cloning with ease.
