Crazily, if you speak English and German, Dutch is pretty readable! Not pronounceable, though. I remember going to the van Gogh museum in Amsterdam and being flabbergasted to find that I could read most of the signs. Anyway, if you fall into the same edge case as me, then you can totally change the language on your computer to Dutch and make it work!
@@lazyposy It's so good Posy, please, from a man who has 2,800 hours in it, if you like cars, it NEVER gets old! I implore you to give it more of a go and maybe even install some mods if you like it! 😁
I can confirm. Boot from a Hiren's CD ; find which one of the freeware cloning utilities is the best one ; start cloning ; wonder if another one would do it quicker than the two hours this one takes (but the paid version takes 5 mn, promised) ; swap disks ; it works.
Yeah, I can also confirm that. 😅 I've never messed with the cloning software built into Windows 10 and 11, but I had good luck one time spending about 1-2 hours cloning one NVME SSD to another NVME SSD with AOMEI Backupper. Granted, I still prefer to create a system image of an old boot drive to an external USB drive, then restore it to the new boot drive, but I don't see why a direct clone wouldn't work.
Really if you're buying a Samsung drive you might as well just use Samsung magician, it's the easiest way I've used since you don't even have to boot to a USB utility
Oh that one is easy. All you have to do is plug in both drives at the same time and copy-paste all the data over, then remove the old drive. The reason the C drive requires all these special steps is because the operating system boots from the C drive. As for why it's traditionally labelled C, A and B were for the two floppy drives which no longer exist.
@@cmmarttiIf you connect a USB floppy drive it will be mapped to A, presumably a second would be mapped to B, and if for some odd reason you had a third it would get the next available letter. Everyone is used to C anyway, no need to confuse everyone by suddenly having the boot drive now be A...
It boggles my mind that after all these years, somehow there still isn't a dead simple way to transfer windows from one existing drive to another. Having done windows installs a billion times, upgrading hardware, somehow this one step will forever remain a mystery and I'd much rather just install windows from scratch than deal with the neigh broken backup features. Edit: I've been using your cursors for a while, by far the best ones and most readable ones.
5:31 If I’m not wrong, what you were seeing there was the UUID representation of one of the disks. Each physical disk and each partition has it as a unique identifier. As for the path itself, Windows represents filesystems in weird ways.
I used FOSS software called "Clonezilla" to do this before, to make perfect clone of the C drive on another drive. It's hard to learn how to do, but easy to do once you've learned it, if that makes sense. Much easier than fighting with Windows, and since it's a perfect clone you don't have to spend time putting your files back where they're supposed to be or anything like that.
nope... Posy is like a million time more honest, true, and kind. Even when Posy have not a lot of clue about computers, I would watch his tech channel anytime over linus...
In all my years of PC building I've never actually done this, thankfully. My tip with Windows is always having a second Windows PC to do stuff like disk imaging and such, or just in case the first one breaks.
All you gotta do is install your new drive into the pc (or use an USB adapter if you don't have any ports available) clone your main drive with any free cloning software into the new drive, remove the old drive, connect the new one, and that's it, you don't have to mess with the bios, nor make any backup and mess around to make a new windows installation and load said backup, nothing.
Why not burn a copy of RescueZilla onto a flash drive so that the _next time_ you upgrade your storage, you don't have to mess with anything having to do with image backups; it basically clones your drive onto a new one. (I'm still crying inside because Macrium Reflect isn't free anymore.)
2:06 "To prevent electrostatic charge" Actually, charge is ok, everything has some level of charge. What you want to prevent is a sudden DIScharge. By touching the case, you, your screwdriver and the case all have the same level of charge. So there won't be any discharge.
Hey, need you create such a disk transfer in the future, you could try getting ahold of a USB to whatever fixed disk media you're planning to install, like in this case you could've gotten an M.2 NVMe to USB adapter, and use a Macrium Reflect recovery drive (it's an option in the software once you install it). They don't really seem to be offering a free version anymore but if you can get ahold of the older MR version 8, you can still create such a disk and save yourself from the hassle of dealing with outdated Windows features. A flash drive as small as 1GB is enough to create such a recovery drive and it basically allows you to do a full bit-by-bit transfer of everything on your old drive onto your new one. You can also mess around with partition sizes and positions before they are created and filled, so that you don't have to do it later on and risk breaking stuff. I've used it numerous times and never had issues with it.
I have been thinking about upgrading the hard drive for my Windows 10 PC as well. This video confirms all of my expectations for how the process will go. Thank you, Posy, for offering a glimpse into a dire moment in my near future Also I noticed the two mice. Are you ambidextrous?
Are you me? A couple days ago I've upgraded the system drive in my Windows 10 machine from 2017 (technically there's nothing left of the original one because upgrades but eh) from a 512GB Samsung 980 to a 1TB WD. I used Rescuezilla though and it worked a bit better but still not without issues. Windows is a huge bag of farts.
Dude. Samsung SSD comes with a software which almost instantly makes a copy of your system and helps to set it on a new disk. That is the easiest way, especially if you purchased a Samsung disk...
Windows image backups are silly. Microsoft are concerned you'll clone its O/S to a to a new computer. Lost count how many times I've cloned my computer. But I ditched Windows over a decade ago.
my last computer was from 2016, the current one is from 2019, i've upgraded the system drive before and i can tell, back in the days of 2016, optical drives are very dead and i use third party tools to migrate the boot drive and it worked flawlessly
Is funny that when it comes to re-installing Windows it's often easier, and more effective, to do things the "wrong" way rather than how MS intended it to be done.
I love you Posy. Great video Why not just clone??? Macrium made it super easy. Windows never ever got it right. Additionally: You look quite fit. Would be nice to know what your sport routine is. All the best. Never quit on the silly Posy stuff. Reason I am here.
I always used Macrium Reflect with a M.2 USB Enclosure to copy it straight from one drive to another. But with it you can make images too. This windows software looks not so fun...
this video reassures me that switching to mac was the right choice for me, and yes i am aware that it has many shortcomings compared to windows that might be absolute dealbreakers to some but i’m very willing to pay that price (when buying it 2nd hand) because it’s an idiot computer that just works for idiots (me)
Yeah, I'm confused, shouldn't he just clone the disk and the computer wouldn't notice the difference, except for having more (perhaps unallocated) space?
Windows is quite embarassing at this point in time. In the windows XP era, most things were coherent. Nowadays its a hotch potch between windows, 2000, vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11 stuff mashed up together + ransomware, spyware etc combined.
The managers and H1Bs are too scared of touching the codebase so they just slap new UIs and trinkets over old ones. Even for basic settings like audio it's a huge mess to navigate.
You shouldn't create a new partition manually for windows. You should remove all partitions on your drive and let windows setup these partitions for you so its one large partition with some other reserved stuff without having to do anything
I got a new PC last month, but instead of doing a direct clone I decided to install fresh. After all, the many programs I installed and deleted on my old PC defenitely left a ton of registry and leftover files, bot to mention whatever garbage I have sitting there that I haven't thought to delete. Better to start again, and not carry over all that wasted space, yes? Now would I argue against your method? No. I'm going between 2 different PCs. You're using the same PC. If you're just looking for a bigger drive, and all of your stuff, then this makes sense.
I have the same bios and the same problem so now my OS is installed on a regular sata SSD and the M.2 is just for games. Literally do not feel a difference in speeds
This all seemed easy until you got to the part where you have to deal with Windows' crap. No way I'm going back to that after experiencing the superiority of Tux.

As someone who works in it: this was incredibly frustrating to watch
I feel like it's actually easier to mess with third party cloning utilities than to use the built in Windows one

You need to take the drive offline to properly clone it, but you can't do that from the drive you are running the OS from.

I literally just bought the exact same SSD from MicroCenter over the weekend, on the same day this video went live 😮
I ate an apple while I watched this.

Omg it went from a techmoan/posy dream in the previous one, now it's a dream lgr/posy collaboration I want.
From the Fractal Case, to the Asus X99 board, to the Fireface, we basically have the same setup. Good taste ;)
