WINDOWS 10 CLONE HARD DRIVE TO SSD DRIVERS

Consult the computers manufacturer and apply update any available drivers or BIOS updates.

Run Windows Update and reboot the computer.Source or Destination drives that have issues or errors will cause problems for the cloning process and possibly resulting in a drive that does not function as expected. Check the drive for errors using Windows Scan Disk, or other 3rd party software drive scanning software options.Clean up the computer by deleting any data that is no longer required.

Select and purchase a Solid State Drive supported by the computer and the intended use case. NVMe M.2 SSD have theoretical transfer speeds of up to 20Gbps which is already faster compared to SATA M.2 SSDs with 6Gbps. M.2 NVMe: NVMe M.2 SSD are more performance driven compared to SATA M.2 SSD.M.2 SATA: SATA M.2 SSD use the SATA interface with a maximum data transfer rate of 6Gbps and have three to four times the bandwidth compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDD).Supports up to 600MB/s transfer rate (SATA 6GB/s). SATA: A communications protocol optimized for spinning magnetic disks.Supports up to 1000MB/s per lane with PCIe interface. NVMe: A communications protocol optimized to handle high bandwidth SATA transfer, with up to 4 lanes per device.Solid State Drives (SSD) can either use NVMe or SATA as the method for communicating with the rest of a PC. M.2 SSD: M.2 SSD or the 'chewing gum stick' drive are the most commonly used on newer hardware computers and motherboards.mSATA SSD: 1/8th the size of a 2.5' SSD and most commonly used in thin and ultra-thin devices like tablets and notebooks.2.5' SATA SSD: The most commonly used and computers usually have at least one 2.5' slot which is normally used by the existing hard drive or SSD.

The available slots and form factor will determine the the type of SSD supported by your computer.

Verify if the computer hardware supports M.2 SATA, PCIe for NVMe or both before purchasing the drive.

Not all M.2 slots support PCIe which is required for NVMe SSD.

Most newer computers support both 2.5' SATA and M.2 slots.

There are a few steps required before purchasing the SSD.īefore purchasing an SSD, check with your hardware manufacturers user manual and specifications to determine the type and how many slots are available.

WINDOWS 10 CLONE HARD DRIVE TO SSD INSTALL

Performing a clean install of the operating system from the installation media is the preferred method to upgrade a computers drive regardless if it is upgraded from HDD to SSD or increasing the capacity and performance of the existing Solid State Drive. Upgrading to a Solid State Drive (SSD) provides higher performance and increased storage capacity than the typical OEM drive included with the computer. Follow the steps to upgrade a Winows computer internal drive to SSD without reinstalling Windows.*END
