Cloning an operating system is the best option when you want to transfer the operating system from a hard disk to a SSD or HDD another newer.
If when copying files on a hard drive on another is a viable option if the Windows operating system and beyond, we are dealing with protected system files and hidden partitions. We can not simply to copy Windows as a text file.
Easeus ToDo Backup Free is a free cloning and backup program that will help us move Windows from hard drive to SSD. This cloning program will take care of everything from partitioning, file transfer, to partitioning; Because we rarely have the source disk of the same capacity as the destination disk, in the case of cloning.
Windows 10 cloning, copying from HDD to SSD
How to use Easeus Todo Backup free?
Before you start working, make sure that your old hard drive is not too much data. The data on the source hard drive must fit the new space, that is SSD or HDD again; In addition it must stay and some space, preferably at least 20-30%.
Once we open the application, in the upper right we have the "Clone" button, which allows us to start the cloning process.
1. Choose source, that old hard disk with the system he / Next
2. Choose the destination or “target”, ie the new SSD or HDD
3. Check the partitions and the correctness of the choices made previously (source / destination) and press “Proceed” and wait until the end of the cloning process.
What we do after cloning?
Now you have the same operating system on two drives, and Windows will load all of your old disk.
In this case we have two choices:
1. Remove the old hard drive and format it, then reinsert it.
2. Boot from Gparted and format hard disk old
Fast boot solution and verification (temporary), is forced from the boot disk from the boot menu again (f12 at PC startup).
Careful!
Whatever you do, make sure personal data before. Save important files (documents, pictures, home movies) on a stick or an external hard drive.

Hello Cristi I want to propose a alernativa the GParted Live: With EasyBCD wipe entry bootloader, representing disk old, then give restart, the system will boot automatically dial again after that drive old can be formatted live with Disk Managmenet in Windows or another third party application.
If you try and go it welcomed alternative.
We tutorials Android OS on PC !!
we want? Speak for yourself. I do not understand why you want Android on PC? what to do with it?
Give yourself what you need PC?
Cro!
Cristi Hello!
Congratulations for this tutorial!
When a series of tutorials on application Kodi?
Are increasingly more people who try to use this app but unfortunately know little about it. True, some tutorials circulating on the Internet, but I am convinced the world would understand or easier you can do with Kodi if you involve yourself.
Crowd!
Good luck!
XBMC tutorial I made some years ago, the so called Kodi then.

The interface is changed, but in essence, the core is the same.
I'll probably do a tutorial that update soon, which will also include mobile application.
Congratulations on everything you do .We aim for many years and I've learned a lot from my Dacia .Întrebarea can clone an SSD on another SSD, say you buy an SSD with greater storage capacity.
Sure can!
Cristi Hello!
First excuse = me because I write is outside the topic.
I have an older PC with the following configuration:
MOTHERBOARD - GIGABYTE 945 PL-S3
CPU -INTEL P4531-2,66 MHz
MEMORY - 2GB
VIDEO PLATE - 7300GT LEADTEK / 256
HOUSING -MG372DELUX
In order to give him a bit of speed I want to put the operating system (win 8.1 licensed) SSD.
QUESTION:
Can I do that?
Recommendation SSD.
Thank you
First add at least 2GB memory. I recommend Intel SSD.
Of course you can. For an SSD recommendation, see our recent "Cheap PC Gaming Setup" tutorial, which you can find in the search box on the top right.
Peter bisog, this software works on TV, PC etc but not recommend it than those who feel that time passes too încet.Este, in my opinion, an intermediate absolutely useless, looking movies through various archives.
If you are interested in a certain movie, it is much easier to look for it directly on the net ... and if you don't believe me, come on, don't get Kodi, try it!
I can say that this program is exceeded .Aomei do the job much faster and without erori.Apropos What do you do with an old project about Hackintosh?
I'm now a year or so when I got the SSD I did something like this but with no soft, really do not remember the exact steps but if I made a back-up system in the control panel on a partition storage (it is Windows 7) and then if we put the horse SSD. and introduced a Windows installation disc with menu 7 and repair if I restored from back-up system on the SSD, something more primitive, but it worked perfectly. I repeat, do not remember exactly but I like so remember that we did.
Cristi, you tested Android 6 Marshmallow?
Thanks for the tutorial but I have a problem. The hdd with windows is 20 GB, the new hdd is 500GB, and after I clone the 500GB hdd becomes a 20GB one !! That is, it also clones space, not just files, or how? I don't understand where the problem is. : |
maybe she's doing this smart thing. o had the option to automatically resize the new hard drive depending on the volume to be transferred. without option? maybe you want or maybe you don't want to ....
I would use migrate easy anyway. at least you can make it boobtable on cd and you do the work from live cd
You still have the difference in space but you have to allocate it from Disk Management (right click on My Computer / This PC and click on Manage) as my colleague Cristi did in the previous tutorial with "Installing SSD M.2 and the difference in performance SSD vs SSHD "which you can find with the search box on the top right or in the Tutorials action in the black bar at the top.
Thanks Adrian. I succeeded with your help! :)
