Crazy how I just got a new NVMe drive for my OS and immediately got this video recommended.

[DakotaHoll]

I have been watching your channel for years and years because I have always loved fiddling with computers. As I've gotten older my computers have gotten more and more expensive, so I always check your channel first before I make any decisions, so thank you for your content.

Ive used this software before and its the easiest software for migration. Went from a 256gb gen 3 to a 1 TB gen 4 SSD, both were already inside my PC in separate NVME slots.

Good video as usual and timely. Wanted to save my 2010 laptop, which still runs good. I am going to guess, the operations are the same for non-OS drives' cloning.

Off the topic, have you had a chance to make a video for Windows 11, similar to your "Things you need to disable in Windows 10 right now"? I liked the one stop shop explanation and has helped all my Win 10 pcs run effectively and efficiently.

I have been struggling with this process recently but this program is the first I’ve used that is actually free and simple to use. Thank you for the video, it worked perfectly upgrading my SSD to a larger one 👍

[schroedingersdog]

Excellent! Very clear and simple. Thanks, Brian!

I download the Acronis cloning tool from the WD site. If it doesn't find a WD drive in the system then plug in a Sandisk USB stick to keep it happy. It's ridiculous that Microsoft don't have a tool to do this.

[wavemaker]

My favorite way to backup my PC. If something catastrophic happens to your computer all you have to do is replace the drive.

Just recently discovered and subscribed. You sir are a wealth of useful information and I have recommended your website/channel to many friends. Thank you!

Tried to buy a new SSD because my current one for my system is at 66% life, but the new one doesn't show up in the boot options after I used Hasleo Disk Clone to clone windows.
The SSD is an option for priority override, but not listed in normal boot options

Hey Brian, very usefull video, just had some questions.

So, firstly, at 4:36 you extended the "system partition size" from 63.1 GB to the maximum size of the target disk. Why did you do this? I don't understand the point of extending the amount that will be clonded beyond the size of the source disk, since the amount that can be cloned can only go as high as the source disk. Is this something that is necessary when cloning the drive?

Second, after cloning the drive and replacing it (with the target drive that was just cloned onto) for an upgrade, is it necessary to go into my system BIOS and change the computer boot sequence, or will the system automatically boot the correct drive (Have the correct boot order/sequence) since it's in the same slot?

Thanks!

[rogerbowen]

I did get Disk Genius with a view to doing exactly what the video suggests. Then, all the hoo ha around 24H2 piled in so I went the custom .iso route instead. Cloning would have allowed me to keep my existing Windows license (One advantage of a Microsoft account, which I had when I switched my email account from Hotmail to Outlook.), but hey, it is what it is and one way or another I'll have Windows the way I want it when I eventually build my new PC.

[Not-Only-Reaper-Tutorials]

Nice so I can change the SSD with a bigger one without the need to reinstall everything.

[zootaar]

How can i manualy change the booting drive afyer this process as the two drives are installed inside my pc

[fvrrljr]

AOMEI user here, downloaded DiskGenius *Thanx Britec*

[geojohnson]

Thanks for the video Brian. I have used Acronis to upgrade several computers from old mechanical drives to new SSDs. They are always amazed at the speed increase. I use the Acronis software to do daily backups as well. Their tech support is excellent too, I would add.

[esasan]

Omg thank you this is the video ive been looking for. All other tutorials sounds to complicated this the first the a bot like me understands cheers

[fbifido]

what if you have a 1TB HDD which is only using 30GB, and you want to OS-Migrate to a 256GB SSD?

[ukuxfirecrew_brad]

So I did this step by step all good but now I can’t find the previous hdd it was on I moved it so am ssd it shows up in disc management but not files

[blindmansentertainment]

Is it possible to have a separate drive just for video editing im wondering if this would reduce computer resources and keep a 2tb drive for the rest of the computer if so could or have you done a video thanks
