EXCELLENT PRESENTATION.Easy to understand step by step even though I am 80 years old and not a computer genius I learn and did it like one . Thanks

Thanks for this information. I had used another free tool to clone the HDD to SSD and the boot partition did not copy properly and windows would not boot. With Disk Genius it worked perfectly.

Follow-up ...I did both my HP Laptops and this is the easiest way to clone and fast.Unless you were blind was a breeze. Now they are both fast. Again Thanks The Disk Genius software are very easy.

Hello mate,

Your way of explanation is very nice. I am facing issues in making image of gpt disk (os only + additional smaller partitions) with drive snapshot software. Image creation is okay. But upon restoration to same hardware, windows does not boot up. It will be better if you can make a tutorial for creating image of gpt disk with uefi bios and restore on other system with same hardware, I use drive snapshot mostly, please try to use same software if possible.

The music made this video unnecessarily annoying

I noticed there was no data on the original HDD except the OS, all you did was a straight clone from HDD to SSD. That's why it only took around 15 minutes. What about when you have an HDD full of programs and documents and are wanting to clone to a smaller SSD? Will it still work then or do you have to first reduce the partition size to match the size of the SSD?

I've watched this video several times. My system sees the smaller unportitioned SSD drive. When the source and target drives are selected, it reports "Used space of source disk exceeds target disk capacity, please reselect". Can the free version of DiskGenius still work as you say?
The source disk is 1TB and the unpartitioned target disk is 512GB.
I am an experienced compatible user of 30+ years and have helped many.
Please reply. Thank you.

Hey so i have a 2TB HDD and a 1TB SDD but it gives me an errir saying that the source one is too big how do i fix that i dont want to copy all the files i only want windows which i truly believe is under 1TB

[iskolarmoreno]

It is all the file from the hhd are migrated to ssd?

Or only the window operating system ?

Thank You

[loskop]

Will this work if the new ssd is in a usb caddy?

[sublime_tv]

So what happens to the excess data since the previous HDD is larger?

This annoying music gives me a cancer.

[MrBowBow]

Actually the music is so annoying I cannot follow this video.

The irritating music isn’t necessary. I don’t understand why people think these videos need music to distract from the tutorial.
