Why I didnt find this tutorial on first search, this is the most starighforward and clear, not the 20 minutes talking nonsense yada yada

[munchymonk]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[thomasjanik]

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 YouTube 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.

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!

[alexg]

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!

[ralphpanganiban]

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”.

[TheodenBlade]

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.

[brny_x]

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

[jurajducak]

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.

[pavelmedbery]

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.

[Como_NO_Invertir]

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.

[frauuyang]

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.

[Ashyri]

For everyone who is stuck behind a paywall, install version 5.3 and under. Anything above this will get you locked behind a paywall.

[chuchinj]

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?

[lauryn]

Better to backup your original system with ao mei in case of Win 11 crashes, it can restore your system.

[dankmemer]

I like these short but informative videos
