11/04/2024: For anyone struggling and saying windows is still booting up from your old drive do the following: (Stop watching this vid at 9:15 for now) Go into your BIOS when you boot up your pc, normally this can be done by spamming "delete" key on your keyboard as soon as you turn it on. Once it turns on and your in your BIOS. Select your new drive as the Boot drive. Make it the number #1 option. You should see a dropdown or something which has your original SSD/HDD as the boot option #1. Change that #1 option to the new drive you put windows onto. I had to do this and worked perfectly, hope this helps!

Just wanted to upgrade my SSD, but had no idea how to migrate everything over, and was absolutely losing my mind for 3 hours trying to get this thing figured out because every other guide and thing I was looking up was basically unhelpful. You sir are a life saver! Everything went smooth and perfectly, and I now have plenty more storage space!

Just built a new with some of the latest hardware and expanded memory. There are a ton of migrate videos out there that for me I would be woefully unprepared for. This video is quick, easy, and works! Took 10 minutes! The one micro step that was missed is that you do need to drop into BIOS on reboot and change boot disc parameters. Thank you sir!

This is for anybody struggling with their MSI Bios 5 freezing! Go to advanced settings (F7), motherboard settings/config, boot, BBS priorities, and change the boot option #1 to the NEW drive you are using, and set boot option #2 to disabled (you'll notice it's your old C: drive before selecting disabled), hit F10 and then yes. Do this after following the video to about 9:30. This stopped my bios from freezing and actually saved the new drive as the boot drive, hope this helps at least one of you internet peeps out there, much love!

Best guide on YouTube covering this subject hands down. I’ve been holding off on upgrading my puny 128gb c drive because I had no clue how to transfer the data. Saw this video yesterday morning and thought the guide was so well made that I actually had a chance at doing it myself. Got the new nvme and transfer kit this evening and did everything in 20 minutes, no hiccups and I now have 1.8 TB to play with. You’re a life saver man. Much love from NY

I, like many others, just wanted to upgrade my ssd and had no idea the struggle I was in for. Hours were spent downloading different softwares to no avail. This video is a life saver. Thank you so much for making a working video.

I simply cannot thank you enough man. I've been trying to do some computer gymnastics to put my old ssd onto my hdd then to my new ssd and its worked like a charm. I simply cannot commend you enough.

[Real_Grogg]

This process has been very confusing to me as a fairly novice PC user. I really appreciate the way you lay it all out and make it very accessible! Thank you!

[fredericofrancisco]

Simple, concise and very well explained. I was able to follow this and do everything in one shot. Awesome video

[davideurenius]

I have been using CloneZilla booted from USB. Nice to be outside of Windows when copying data you also do not face the disk in use issue.

I’d been incredibly nervous about cloning my hard drive but this video made it super easy. No issues whatsoever which is completely unlike my usual experiences! Thank you so much.

Now I actually have some space on my C drive!

[lurinolt]

I thought I was going to either have to pay for some fancy app or manually reinstall everything, upgraded my nvme and left the old one as backup in an hour, still can't believe it. You made my day sir. I'm subscribing. Huge thanks!

[davidabramov]

Thank you for your video! Finally, someone explaining how to do clone the drive without promoting the software. After cloning the drive make sure to boot from your new drive, and it will get assigned as the C drive. Check your BIOS setting to boot from the correct drive.

[mbodey]

Great video. Updated my system from an ssd to an nvme with this method. Followed all the steps you did and had no problems! thanks!

[kurtdanielr]

Thank you for explaining everything as simple yet detailed enough as possible for everyone to understand. This tutorial really made everything a whole lot easier for me. So thank you for this!

[kristianharaldsen]

This did not work for me as the wizard program freeze when restart is required. Operation (1) of (4) 0% and its frozen.

I've been struggling with a slow pc for 2 years now and this finally fixed it. Thank you!!!
