Hey roo I just ordered all the parts for my fist pc!!! Anyways how's ur day
I was literally trying to find a tutorial on how to do this then ping it’s Roo tech
Just a note, the clone feature is behind a paywall if your disk is GPT instead of MBR. There is no work around, confirmed on their forum. So this will only work if both of your disks are MBR, so no partition over 2TB. Might be an issue for you, might not. But if by any change your disk is GPT you are stuck and this won't work for you.
W
i guess you dont have a license code for it gus i need to go from mbr to gpt cuz my hdd is mbr
Why I didnt find this tutorial on first search, this is the most starighforward and clear, not the 20 minutes talking nonsense yada yada
lmao
Did your windows stay activated after doing this
@@StuffFilmedHere yes most likeley
This is not a good process if your new disk has more space than the previous one because the cloning process will allocate the exact same amount of space as your existing disk. The other space will stay unallocated and to edit the partition size you need the pro version of this tool.
Can I allocate it in disk managment ?@@_Panic_
This answered all my questions other people were making it very confusing you were very straight forward and got to the point quick thanks earned a sub.
Can’t thank you enough for this easy to follow and simple tutorial!! I was so worried because someone told me I flat out couldn’t move windows over so thanks for proving them wrong! My PC boots MUCH faster now! 😃
What an amazing tutorial. First I was very excited to get my ssd, then I had complications finding a good tutorial, finally I found yours and I’m on my way to smooth booting! I hope your food is warm and your pillows are cold friend.
very interesting good wishes
Here here
I wish more creators respected our time like you did here. Thank you. I hate sitting through minutes of fluff and people rambling about stuff that is unnecessary or extremely over complicated just for the sale of making a long video they can throw more ads on.
Thank you tons for the quick and straightforeward tutorial, im getting an ssd in the mail soon and i wanted to move the operating system over without a hassle and so far you are the only person to make a tutorial thats quick and straight to the point
Currently cloning everything over now! I love how concise yet informative this is. It hits every point and shows clearly how to do it. I also like that you show you are using an M.2 drive and not a SETA cable, because looking at other videos, it’s a completely different process doing it that way. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks john f kennedy! Its SATA* btw
@@sevenb4time601 Give the guy a break. Its a miracle he's even alive.
Can i do the same from ssd to nvme? I want to transfer everything from the ssd that includes windows to the nvme. Also should i first allocate the nvme?
@@mar__kyes bro. Nvme is again ssd
Wow, so easy and simple. Thank-you! I was running out of space on an older SSD and wanted to simply get a new, larger SSD. I did the swap and worked perfectly just like you said. AND.... your video was short, to the point and clear to understand. So much better than starting a fresh. Thanks!
Best tutorial on youtube! Short and simple. I encountered some trouble as my SSD newly installed showed MBR type while my hdd was GPT type. However after refreshing everything they were both GPT and I transferred everything. Changed the boot sequence and it worked PERFECTLY! My computer is SOO much faster now.
How did you refresh everything ? I’m having the same problem where my hdd is gpt and my ssd which I want to boot windows on is mbr
Instructions were clear and very simple to follow. I was able to get 6.3 running without a paywall and now my computer boots up lighting fast then before.
Really appreciate the help.
How do you get it to work without pay wall
It’s making me pay
@@dsan1019 where you able to figure it out ?
@@xtreamfighter where you able to figure it out ?
@@ghostie1133 you turn off your wifi maybe?
Thank you very much,
I built my pc with a sata drive, and now just got an nvme m.2, with double the capacity,
I didn't really know what to search on RUclips to actually find a tutorial on, but this fit the description of what I wanted to do,
The tutorial was incredibly useful, and the little things are what shows that you know what you are doing, so it makes me feel confident that you didn't just get me to install a virus/trojan/malware under the cover of "moving windows from a hard drive to an SSD"
things like; showing how to open the bios, not trying to get everyone to buy something, clicking the box to make sure we don't have to sign up and just keeping this under 5 minutes (thanks for not trying to make this a 10 min vid just to get it monetized.
also, I don't know if it is just me, but I just noticed that when you move the AOMEI tab, it has a lot of latency, so you can shake it and let go of your mouse and watch it move
Yeah, I don't know how to describe it.
Super quick, simple, easy. 10/10 well done guide!
Great and informative video! Short and to the point unlike others I found.
I've put this off for the last 5 or so years. I had no Idea it was this easy! Something to note is AOMEI's site doesnt seem to load 6.3 ( probably because they know people are using that one instead ) but 6.0 worked fine
These are the videos I like straight-to-the-point
I like these short but informative videos
Havent tried it yet, but thats how you make a tutorial, fast and easy to understand
This seems pretty simple. My brother got me an SSD last chistmas and said he would install it, then procrastinated and said it was complex and tricky to convert windows over to the SSD, and has yet to do so. Upon watching this video I am pretty sure I could figure it out possibly.
This tool helped me a lot, I've used it for a long time since I saw your video last time, really useful. Thank you.
Thank you very much for this helpful guide. The instructions can be easily followed even if you have limited knowledge with computers. Specific and substantial. Thumbs up!
Wanted to let anyone trying this out know if it doesn't work, you may have incompatibility issues. Since there are two different partition styles, where you might have to change it, they are GPT and MBR.
Meaning your main drive's partition style has to be the same as the one you're cloning it to. So you'll have to change it through the windows command prompt by clicking the search box next to START and type in diskpart and run it till the black box appears.
Now type in: list disk, and select the correct new drive that you want to be the new boot drive. By typing in for example: select disk 1. Afterwards type: clean. Once successfully you'll lastly just type in convert to either GPT or MBR, for mine I had to type in: convert gpt.
Hope this helps anyone, if not it'll help guide you.
Why must it be this complicated
Bro tell me about it it had bricked my pc had to get a new one
Thank you!
W guy right here
and now it doesnt show my ssd?
Thank you so much. I was stuck trying to get past that pay wall. Version 6.3 is a lifesaver. Liked and subscribed
much respect! straight to the point tutorial, love you man !
Concise and to the point. No waffle and time consuming nonsense. Excellent video.
Did the link work for you ?
@@levelupkiller2419 it didn't work for me...
@@AnimeHero18 I just searched up it up on google but make sure to put 6.3 version
@@AnimeHero18 in case you're still looking... i used Malcrium Reflect. it gives you a 30 day trial via a key that they email to you.
Glad I found a quick and simple video. Just upgraded from HardDrive to M.2 drive.
worked perfectly with ao mei backup, thank you for your tutorial.
Kudos to you! Nice and Simple and straight to the point!
Thank you for this. Looks so simple and easy to do. Exactly what I was looking for.
does it work bro
@@CorsCors Still to try it man.
@@daamazinfatb0y752 did it work?
@@CorsCors it doesn anymore
I just got all my files deleted
Thank you! Super helpful and now I have a much better understanding of why creating a clone is important vs just a drag and drop copy.
Thanks! I saw other videos but they looked hard and complicated and didn't really explain everything well. Yours was the fastest and easiest and it just works!
This tool is just amazing, solved my issue, great aomei.
Thank you sir, basically preparing myself to do this when I get off work today and seeing your video was definitely a lot easier than the other videos. Follower++
The world would be a better place if every guide video was like this
I really apreciate you going directly to the importante stuff. Videos like this that dont waist time are always welcome, thanks
yo after you do this can you unplug your hdd so its just the sdd inside the pc
Things become easier with this tool, this one is nice.
Update: Link in description doesn't work anymore. Couldn't find version 6.3 on the website but found an installer elsewhere. I'm not sure when/why it changed, but the clone function is still paywalled (even though it *says* it isn't). Newer version is paywalled as well.
Thank you for this vid.Short and on point.
I switched an old laptop hdd with an ssd and this worked great.
this is EXACTLY what i needed.. tysm!!
My Win 11 cannot boot and I resoted it with ao mei backup per I'm glad I backed up my system in advance. This is the best one.
Does the System Clone option @1:49 just clone the OS to a new drive and npt the whole disk??
thanks! getting a new ssd in a couple days and thought it was a lot harder to transfer data to it from my old hard drive
Oh my God, thank you. Everything else I've found was really long and drawn out and complicated but this was very simple and straightforward.
Seems like it doesn't work anymore. When I click on start clone on the final step, the pop up window shows up and there is no other option than upgrade the program, I cannot skip it.
because u cant get 6.3 anymore thats why
@@tukamadafukayou can have to find another link
@@Austin-mw1re yeh I did that lol
I was literally trying to find a tutorial on how to do this then ping it’s Roo tech
Such a good video. Simple and to the point, I heard people are having issues with upgrading to a bigger size, but for me this was no issue. It worked without the program even restarting my computer
every time I hit "start clone" it tells me to upgrade? I downloaded 6.3 whatd you do
I tried my second disk with all my games and it worked, not sure about my drivve with only windows though so never mind? i guess?
SUPER QUICK. Straight forward, Thank you SO MUCH. Very easy too. 10/10
Oh man, I downloaded Aomei Backuper 6.3 and at the end when clicking on "Start Clone" Upgrade window pops up. It seems there is no way to use the free version or bypass the Upgrade window.
Behind paywall if your disk is GPT instead of MBR. There is no work around, confirmed on their forum. So this will only work if both of your disks are MBR, so no partition over 2TB. Might be an issue for you, might not. But if by any change your disk is GPT you are stuck and should search in another place.
Damnit this is so frustrating. I've spent all my money to upgrade my hd to an ssd, then it arrived without any cords so I had to go out and buy them, and now every free software won't work. This seriously shouldn't be so difficult.
@@PhilosoFeed depending on the size of your ssd and if you don't care for partitions over 2 TB, then you can convert it to MBR and it should work (if your HHD is already MBR, which it should tbh). As for the cables, no idea why people buy SATA SSDs, the speed is around 500MB/s, you can get 2000MB/s (for low spec) up to 7000MB/s for M2 SSDs.
@@alext8406 I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre M93p, so this upgrade should be plenty for me. I just want a bit more loading speed for basic tasks.
Can you explain what you mean by converting to mbr? I actually don't care about any of the data on hdd, just want windows to boot from my ssd and don't have the install key.
@@PhilosoFeed in “disk management” it should show All of your hard drives and their partitions. When you install a new SSD it should pop up in this disk management and ask to install it with either MBR or EPT. That’s what he is talking about. MBR is older and like this guy was saying, it can’t process partitions over 2TB. So if you have a 2TB SSD you won’t be able to use MBR on the SSD. You have to use EPT. And you need both your hard drive and your SSD to be MBR for this method shown in the video to work. It’s hard to explain or understand, I barely get it. I don’t really know what MBR or EPT do or what they mean, but I know they have to be the same for you to easily clone your shit over!
This Video is Short, BUT This is helping in LONG term!!!
This Helped me A LOT!
Thank you!
Thank you for not dragging it out. Two thumbs up
Good video, this tool is amazing! I failed with other tools for many times until I try this one, and by the way it is AOMEI not AEOMI in your description.
@@Roo_Tech still not there
Alright so I’ve gotten my ssd to have all the windows stuff on and went into the bios. I moved it to the first spot and I get a message saying select a proper boot device. But if I set it as the first BBS priority then boot and select it with f11 it works. I don’t know what to do next
What do you mean? Please elaborate.
Very clear and concise. Thanks a bunch dude
Hi roo and everyone ...i get a message. Saying ....the size of the partition on the destination disk remains unchanged by default ...to add unallocated space to all partitions click edit disk..what do I do or how do I do that?
What if your drive with Windows on it has more storage capacity than the NVME you wish to migrate Windows to? As it says the disk is too small.
Lmk if you ever find a solution lol
@@oskarwickbom3027 Unfortunately, I went ahead and bought a bigger nvme. If you want to install windows fresh on a new drive, you can always do that; but you can't clone a drive that's got 1tb to a drive that's got 500gb. Best solution there is to either get a bigger drive and clone that way, or go the long way and manually move your files.
@@VukidoPlays I did this stupidly now my pc says no bootable device any idea how I can fix this?
Tnaks for making video as short an useful as it possible.
U got my sub🙂👍🏻
By far the best no bs tutorial I've ever seen, it earned a sub. Thank you!
when pressing the clone and before cloning it didnt say to upgrade ?
@@FademTax it did for me… can’t do it for free anymore it seems
@@isakgoodnoe yeah cant even find the 6.3 version on the link left above either, no more free ): , but still da best guide by far i can find on youtube.
For me the 6.3 version also has a pay wall as soon as I click clone?
I installed 6.3 and faced the problem of the paywall even after changing both discs to GPT. The solution for me was to install version 4.0.5 and did the clone perfectly. I took about 4 hours to move 200Gb.
I didn't see a 4.0.5 version. I tried it with 4.0 and it still wants me to pay, any suggestions?
@@suspicious_ape7173 did you figure it out?
Thanks!! this worked
Lifesaver
@@asap4967 no
Solid and straight foward tutorial 100/100.
Fast works straight on point keep up🔥
ended up having to download 4.0.5 was stuck on a paywall on 6.3 wouldnt let me clone on anything newer. all in all very helpful and straightforward
Thanks bro, this comment deserves more likes
but i want only to copy windows on the ssd not everything on the hhd. please help
Always find myself coming back to this video after upgrading my pc's thank you for this
A thousand thumbs up for getting to the point! Thanks!
Thank you so much, this is really a good software, aomei is really nice to use.
For anyone stuck at the “Upgrade to pro”, make sure the drives are both configured to GPT to continue. To do this: Right click on Command prompt and click “Run as administrator”. type “diskpart” > “list disk” > “select disk (#)” > “clean” > and finally “convert gpt”.
What is gpt
Thanking you worked like a charm!
thank you it worked
the main drive and destination drive are both gpt but it still wont clone. I tried converting them to mbr but the main disk could not. Do you know what to do?
@@james.briley (Cited) The format used to define the hard disk partitions in computer. Theres two formats, GPT and MBR. GPT is more modern and basically replaces MBR, which is why you have to convert it to work properly with the cloning software.
Thank you so much! Super simple and it actually works - appreciate it :)
Amazing tutorial! Best one out there, thank you so much
would this still work? since it was 2 years ago i cant find aoemi 6.3 version
Better to backup your original system with ao mei in case of Win 11 crashes, it can restore your system.
Dude this is sooooo helpful! Thank you so much!
Hey I just followed this guide but after I select the ssd as the priority boot drive the computer tries to boot but says I need to restart and select a bootable drive. Seems that the clone didn't copy the boot capability. Is the AOMEI free version not cloning these files now? Any advice would be appreciated ty.
The uptodown link not exist anymore, and i cant do it, because when i onstall the official one, it forces me to upgrade to pro version
Hey Roo tech
really liked the video
Just have one small question, will the application clone all the partitions of the hdd to ssd or just the windows one? If it by default clones all of them is it possible to clone just the windows(C) drive to one of the partitions of the ssd?
Would appreciate a response soon. Urgently upgrading.
Thanks in advance.

@@adondonadon hey, does this clone the entire drive? or will it just do windows? did you find out :)
@@noct252 whole drive you have to get the pro verison to just clone the os

The best tutorial about this topic, thanks for the help
make sure to change ur new ssd/ hard drive to GPT in disk management (format same as the disk u wanna clone from), I used 6.3 AOMEI and it's working.
How
Both mine are NTFS does this matter?
@@jakesternad6675 you have to go to disk management in your windows settings. And my HDD is MDR not GPT, so I had to change my SSD to MDR to match my HDD. That’s basically what this comment is saying, if your original hard drive is MDR choose that. If your original hard drive is GPT, make sure your new SSD is GPT as well.
Legend, thanks
Thank you for teaching me a new EASIER method. Thank you for being direct. I really APPRECIATE that. I think there is something to said about not having to be loquacious. No pun intended.
WOW--Really easy and fast. Thanks for this help.
Thank so much. I'm about to upgrade my HP AIO with i7, SSD 1tb, and added the 16gb ram. This video really looks easy so I'm excited to try it once stuff gets here.
it seems that they've updated their website and wont allow for version 6.3 to be downloaded. I clicked older versions and it goes back to 7.1.2 from March 2023 :(
It's nice to partition your disk after installing Win 11, partition assistant can handle this perfectly.
This really looks easy thanks dude.

Hi Roo Tech. I wish I'd found this last week, before I installed my new M.2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB SSD into my new MSI A520M-A Pro Mobo. Could have saved myself a lot of work, but That's Life. Russ. UK.

Short and simple video
Thanks you very much sir
everysingle time i click start clone a popup comes up telling me to upgrade
It’s telling me to buy the pro edition whenever I try to start the clone
Very straightforward and steps are very clear. Although I am having a problem during cloning process. My laptop keeps restarting during the cloning process. Any suggestion or solution about this, sir?
You probably have it set to go to sleep if unused. You change this in the battery settings I think. I set mine to go to sleep after 5 hours of not being used.
Amazing straight forward! Super nice
This is super fast and helpful! Is there a way to do this without cloning all of the other files (like all the games and photos and videos etc. on the original HDD) I essentially just want to move Windows to the SSD but still use the HDD for storage
Yeah same, I have another drive so I'll just move it to that or you can just delete everything but windows on the ssd
well do all of this and then just move your games over in the file explorer
there is something on the left of “disk clone” at 1:48 that does it
That would be "system clone" but requires pro version
@@Mrcool179 if u get pro version can you clone it and than after everything can you get your money back?
After I clicked SSD Alignment and clicked "Start Clone" a pop-up appeared offering me to upgrade and couldn't pass that. So. I was not able to clone.
Same happened to me, I followed everything to the tee, they must’ve changed the older versions. You can’t bypass it, I even tried the 6.0 version.
@@warrenreilly3948 If you're really desperate and willing to take the time, you could install windows onto the HDD - SSD you want using the windows media creation tool. However this is an inconvenient method as it will only create a new install of windows. No drivers or files will be transfered. Once complete you'll have to manually transfered the desired files and re install drivers. This basically means any games or programs you had that had registry files won't be able to locate those either.
@@warrenreilly3948 perhaps try uninstalling. Disconnect your internet connection. Then reinstall and proceed with the explained process in the tutorial. ?
@@brianheskin1654 I downloaded 6.3, and followed the instructions. Tried your method of disconnecting the internet connection before reinstalling the program, just to see if that would bypass it, but it would still ask me to upgrade.
@@hcapistran perhaps you'll be able to find an archived version somewhere online before the paywall was added. Be careful downloading any sort of files from anywhere other than the developers website.
