In this video, we show how to upgrade your hard drive to SSD in Windows 10 without losing any of your files or data. This approach also ensures you do not lose your Windows license after the process. The new storage drive, in this case, could be an SSD or HDD.
This can be used when upgrading from HDD to SSD, replace a failing disk, mirror your PC to another PC, or upgrade to a larger storage disk without losing anything.
If you observe any changes in the procedures due to change in minitool version, please read the article for updated instructions: www.easytechstutorials.com/ho...

What if I’m chainging my ssd to my boot drive but still keeping the original boot drive hdd which was wiped of the os. Do I have to change my bios settings?
I'm running Windows 10, and once I get to the end before installing, it's pushing me to purchase the premium versions. I thought this was free. Are there any other options?
Hi I always watch your tutorial cause it always help me out.
But after following these steps in the video, I encountered problem.
I cloned the HDD to SSD using the tool on your video, but then after I cloned it and removed my HDD, it doesn't reboot. And my ASUS laptop now has a black screen. I tried to use the original HDD but it's also have black screen. It was working before cloning. Can you please advise what to do here? I hope you notice my comment. Thank you in advance.
Does it work on desktop pc
One of the best explanation. I am a finance professional and was outsourcing this process and someone quoted almost 250-350 as the total cost. I looked at this video and ordered a SSD, SATA calble and a tool box all for 70 bucks and was able to do it myself. Thanks
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!

newest version of this software insists on registration and purchasing at least the pro. i get the bios change notification, click finish and it pops up a registration window where i have options to buy, click x to close and it just brings me right back to the bios notification. very frustrating
Beautiful presentation! I agree, this is by far the best tutorial I have found to date on how to migrate from HDD to SSD! Presented in a clear, concise, to the point, and very informative fashion. No useless off-the-theme chatter. Thank you so much! Wow!
So generous of you Adams, thanks so much for the feedback!
@@EasyTechswhy do u bot ur comments
A really clear and thorough video. Well done! If only all tech tutorials could be this good.
just finished installing my SSD thanks to your tutorial!🙏😁 It took me 3 days before I got the courage to do it today! Thank you again for your wonderful tutorial!🙏
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
didn't work for me, couldn't find an operating system when I replaced the SSD, not sure what I did wrong??
After you have transferred tje Operating system over to new SSD. can you then remove your old hard drive or ssd and install your new SSD into your computer?
Hey thanks for the video. Didn't realise upgrading to an SSD on a laptop was so straightforward. I'll definitely be doing this.
Bro, you are really a lifesaver! You're instructions are very clear and direct. Even I, a beginner, can easily understand your instructions. You taught us easily compare to our teachers. Because of that, even I hate ads, if it comes from any of your videos, I won't be skipping it. Please keep doing this kind of tutorial, Bro!
Good Job, and thank you for the video. Everything was explained very clearly. Tomorrow when I get my SSD I will follow your steps.
Best tutorial for migrating HDD to SSD , Thank you very much !
Good to know it helped you out Vassil, thanks for the feedback
Great tutorial!!! Never thought it would be so easy. THANK YOU!
@@EasyTechs hello can I also use the same procedure to upgrade 1TB TO 2TB from HDD to HDD Drive
@@birdadventure1939 yes
I have some old laptop
November 2021 - Have they changed the 'free' mini partition wizard to paid only?? Every time I hit finish on the OS migration it takes me to an upgrade screen where I have to pay money, and I cant get past the screen :'(
Same. That was annoying.
You probably have solved this problem already but I’m gonna mention anyway: we have to use the 11.5 or less version of the app to make it work.
I brought up your youtube presentation on my desk top, set mye6320 laptop along side and followed your instructions step by step and converted my laptop from HDD to SSD. Thank you for your easy to follow instructional video. What a difference in the computers responsiveness.
If you have a POS laptop and cannot get Windows 10 setup to recognize the SSD, this will work. Thank you so much.
That's most likely because you need to inject the controller driver
I agree this is the best. I have followed every instruction here and learned a lot and converted 3 different laptops from HDD drives to SSD drives and the performance is amazing. The cost was soooo low. I didnt spend a lot of money on a gigantic drive, I bought 240GB drives and they are MORE than I ever needed. Thank you sooooo much.
Thats so good to know John, these days there isn't much need for very large personal storage drives, nice that it helped you out, thanks for the feedback
Great tutorial, thank you. Feel much more prepared in replacing my current HDD with an SSD in my laptop.
I have seen others, yours is better explained without any assumptions as others have done. Well done! Now off to change mine to SSD, thanks to you!!
This is a *wonderful* tutorial. Everything worked perfectly after experimenting with partition sizes. I actually cloned a 1TB hdd to a 240GB sdd, and after many many attempts with different software and YT videos, this one was the one. Very good video @EasyTechs, definitely subscribing!
thank you sooooo much, you have no idea how helpful you have been
Good to know it helped you out Diego, and thanks for the feedback
i have just upgraded my Sony vaio laptop with a 1TB SSD card and i also upgraded its 4GB RAM to 16 GB RAM you helped me with the data transferring, so thank you very much !! you're video has been the best and the most informative that i have seen so far.
once again thank you so much !
Sir I just want to thank you
This tutorial help me last night with my laptop and my new Sandisk SSD.
Now my laptop is faster. Thank you!
From Philippines here.
why i need to get minitool pro version to do the job?
Thank you... i initially downloaded the newer version of the mini tool (V12) and you have to pay for this functionality But I then found version 10 and it works exactly as described. You are a legend... genuinely appreciated 🙂
Than you I had this issue today. Now I just need to find version 10
I also had an issue, but everything went smoothly after I used V10. Thank you! 😊
@@olebogengpatrickmokopanela any luck finding v10?
@@Crawford2x Yes. I searched specifically for V10 and didn’t struggle to find it.
@@olebogengpatrickmokopanela can you send me the link that you used im looking for it but I cant find it im only seeing the newest version.
Thanks for your vid mate! This is the only tutorial that worked in my SSD
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Great thanks. First manual simply showing the logic of replacing disks. Sometimes it´s not clear whether replace disks and clone or vice versa.
Great video. I appreciate the concise, yet informational commentary. Very well done!

big thumbs up and ive also subbed. so nice to see a guy who knows what hes doing BUT can also impart that knowledge to others. Youre a STAR!!!!
So generous of you DaveMac, very best wishes on your way to the top
This worked like a champ on my laptop. Very easy to follow instructions. Thanks
You rule (it's official!) this is great, thank you for the text version as well!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
Alright I've just done this but my other drive went missing. Need help. I've checked on my partition it's there but not at my computer.
saw a few videos on the tutorial, this one is the best as it gives explanation for each step.
This is the best HDD to SSD conversion tutorial on the internet! Thank you very much!
This is no longer free. It's 2022 and the "free" MiniTool Partition Wizard Free 12.6 download will only let you get just so far before it forces you to pick a paid plan. When you get to the part where you need to choose the drive you want to transfer to and then click the finish button, you aren't allowed to go further. I'm SO disappointed! "Free" just means it's free to download; it's not free to use/complete your task. I love this video, as it's the best I've found, so I'm forced to bite the bullet and pay. Ugh
download the version10
Thank you! excellent explanation, done it, now all I need is to swap the hardware!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback
Nice presentation, with many relevant details. Thanks!
Ok, I followed your tutorial and this worked exactly as shown in your video. Thank you very much. The Dell laptop I use in my recording booth is now way faster and MUCH quieter, which is the main reason I did the upgrade.
Good to know it helped you out Matthew and thanks for the feedback
Perfect tutorial Recommend it
Well explained, Thanks 😊
thanks for the feedback
Worked flawlessly. Thank you very much for the tutorial. Side note... I used the most recent version 11.6 using these same steps.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
You have offered the best explanation of this process I have come across to date. Very detailed, thorough, and with careful guidance, making this a task I now feel more comfortable taking on. Thank you - Subscribed and liked!
Glad it was helpful!
Nigerian Prince would like to offer you a 1TB SSD
This is a great tutorial! I have just one question: If my hard drive has been acting up lately, is it possible that my hard drive can fail during the cloning process?
If the drive is acting up, I'd avoid using this method and instead do a fresh install, copy what you need manually instead on a new drive. You want to use it the least you can, as drive failures can quickly ramp up to an unusable disk if put under load.
Do a diagnostic test first to determine if there are bad sectors. Orrr, you can defrag it. It will make the process faster while also finding out if there's a bad sector.
Very well explained, so far the best video I have seen for updatting to an SSD. Thanks!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback
Thank you for this! Best tutorial for migrating HDD to SSD I have seen yet!!

Good to know it helped you out Bilal, thanks for the feedback
hi thank you for the tutorial! it was very well done and easy to follow. I do have a question: The tutorial briefly mentions having to assign the new drive as the drive to boot up from in BIOS, but doesn't give detailed information. I checked out other tutorials for it, but none were very helpful, and my BIOS menu doesn't show me any other options for which drive to boot up from. Any tips on that or other tutorials you recommend?
A very helpful video, thank you. One question... Do you have to initialise the new ssd drive before you start? As a simple volume perhaps, or doesn't it matter?
can you follow the same procedures on a pc desktop?
yes
Migrate OS function has been removed from the free version is now only available in Pro,
unfortunately this guide is no longer valid.
any software do cloning for free?
thanks very much for the great video , it helped me a lot , I did the whole procedure in around 4 hours as I had lots of files and I had no trouble whatsoever thanks to you.
I am now a subscriber and recommending your channel to all of my friends.
thanks again mate.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Great tutorial, I followed your video step by step until the end and it all worked out amazingly. Thank you for the help keep it up.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Excellent tutorial, in the most part very clear.
To make it even better....I would suggest speaking half the number of words! I completely lost it in several sections, such as licensing, where you just talk a lot. Keep it simple, keep it to the point, and speak nice and slowly (for the hard of hearing).
But otherwise a really good and instructive tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate
if you only move the os is it the same procedure or not
Yes, you just need to choose the option for that
Ok thanks alot for the info
@Anand Halder Once you restart your pc, you would have to go into BIOS and make your new drive the default boot drive I believe.
Damn man!!
You don’t know how helpful this video was!!
Thank you soo much!!!
So good to know...thanks for the feedback
Very clear and crisp guide to the whole SSD migration process!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
this software is not for free today... too bad :(
Check link in the description for updates
Thanks for such an esy to follow tutorial. Question. Will this work equally well with an NVME SSD? As long as you have a way of externally coneecting it to your pc. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video! I have one question, I will choose the second option, moving only the OS, but is there any option to move the OS and only the apps you want? For example, I use matlab and I'd like to move it to the SSD as well. Thanks!
Awesome, what I was looking for
Thanks a lot. Very informative and thorough. Well done!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback
I used this tutorial to upgrade my WD SSD to Samsung SSD. Thanks for the great tutorial!
Believe me or not This is one of the best tutorial I have found on web rather than any unnecessary explanations abt ssds and hdds you saved my time and It did work flawlessly. Thank you man. Cheers.

@@EasyTechs Thank you for it well I have upgraded my hdd to ssd before that i went on exploring all the guides on RUclips but apparantly found out out of the track and time consuming. You explained straight forward and to the point and covered everything in a video. keep it up.
Bro it's 2020 and this is still the best video on migrating and install an SSD on a laptop that I have found and now SSD's are much cheaper. THANK YOU! You got a subscriber :))
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Hi, nice video. One question if you are replacing with a higher size SSD like 500 gb or 1 TB does the Mini tool partition wizard will do the same partition size as was in previous Hard disc or we can create a 250/250 gb partition first and then copy C drive after doing partition in SSD. Thanks
A BIG BIG Thank you. I could not have done this without following your brilliant video. I've got an old laptop like yours and this ssd gives it a new lease of life. Well done
Good to know it helped you out Steven, thanks for the feedback
This is very helpful, it's actually the best tutorial as far as migrating Hdd to ssd is concerned, thank you very much.
some folks would have removed the battery before opening the HDD compartment! great video with explanations of MiniTool choices. thank you. with the free version, how many times can you use the migrate / copy HDD to HDD/SSD? minitool can reformat your old C drive for continued use?
very useful! Just one question. My original disk has two partitions, what do I do to copy both partitions into the new SSD disk?...
Thanks a lot for the detailed video sir.
I know this is a tad old. But it helped me greatly thank you so much for the info. The program you used has a new version so the layout is a little different. But still worked like a charm. I wouldn't believe how much faster the boot time would be with the ssd. Dropped from almost 7min to 1min.
Where did you get the software? What link?
Very simple yet effective. just tried this for the first time and is a success. i highly recommend this video
I just installed Windows 10 on my 2011 hp 4530s laptop and will be swapping to ssd drive. Thanks for video this looks easy enough for me to do.
Very clear instructions. Thank you.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Exactly what I needed. Thank you for a very specific and informative "How-To" class.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
You guys are the best! This made it so easy. I've upgraded 2 computers and am going to upgrade (cover your eyes) my eee pc 1000he. It has programs that don't play well with Win10.
thank u so much brother this video helped me a lot.Also easy presentation was catching.🤗🙌

What model laptop have you got as many many now have a one piece bottom which is difficult and fiddling to remove?
Can i use an external 2.5'' case for ssd istead of a sata to usb cable?
Well explained and well thought out tutorial, nothing left to chance, thanks
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
Great video. Really easy to follow and understand.
thanks sir....Can your help? when i click on APPLY i receive an error message that say invalid configure.
This video is amazing, everything explained in a perfect way, I just went today and bought a SSD and Sata cable, and changed everything, followed the video and now my computer is working 60% faster!!
my computer is Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15IKB, this is perfect
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Which SSD did you buy. I also want to upgrade my Lenovo IdeaPad 310-15ISK. Did you check for the compatibility for your device?
Excellent video and clear explanations with relevant details. One question: I cannot access my old HDD - I have tried different USB ports. It is shown in Folder (ESP F:)and in Disk Management. Says "I do not have permissions...."I am 2nd Administrator on Laptop, Can you help, please? Thanks
U my friend are the best! Awesome video. Enjoyed the accent also.
In my case I have no USB-SATA adaptor, can I put first the HDD to the optical drive location using a new caddy and putting the SSD to the location of the original HDD before performing the cloning activity?
after the migration, can I add the hdd using caddyo to the optical drive the format it? looking forward from your reply. TIA!
Wow, made it nice and simple. Feel I might try this now
Thank you very much it was the best way for migrating HDD to SSD . wish you all the best.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks Abdul for the feedback
I will do the same thing, thank you for sharing this to us.
I tried this to replace the m.2 SSD in my laptop but for some reason on the new SSD, it made what was my C: drive the H: drive, and it also made the Winre partition into an I: drive. It also didn't boot. Any idea why it's trying to assign volume letters to each partition?
Thanks so much. This video is very helpful but I may be doing something wrong.
Thank you! very easy to follow.
It is a just amazing presentation and very well explained with all the steps..thanks a lot for this useful information..5 star..
Thanks for the video!! Much appreciated

best and visually pleasing tutorial on migrating the os to new drive in the entire youtube
So generous of you Naraki, thanks for the feedback
Nicely explained!..Helped me migrate my OS to my new M.2 SSD...Thanks man!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback
Thanks for the tutorial! Question: If I choose the second option and only move my OS to the ssd, will my games be affected? Specifically the gameplay performance.
Edit: I decided to just go ahead and buy a 1tb SSD and use it as main while the old one which is a 1tb HDD will be extra storage for my laptop.
Thanks a lot though despite being a few years old, it is still helpful till today!
