Step 1: Connect the SSD to Your Computer

Open your computer case with a screwdriver, connect your SSD to the computer with a SATA cable, attach the power line to your hard drive, then reboot your computer.
Step 2: Initialize the SSD/Delete all Partitions on the SSD

Go to Disk Management: If it is a new SSD, initialize the disk to the same partition style as the source disk; if it is a used one, delete all partitions on it and convert it to the proper partition style.
Step 3: Launch the Program

Open EaseUS Todo Backup, use the navigation bar on the left to select "System Clone".
Step 4: Customize the Clone

The source will automatically be selected to be your system drive, so you just need to select the target drive, which is the new drive. Before you proceed, go to "Advanced options", tick "Optimize for SSD", then click "OK".
Step 5: Start the Cloning Process

Then hit "Proceed" to initiate the clone of your system drive. The speed of the cloning process varies based on your hardware and operating system. (You can select the option at the bottom to automatically shut down your computer when the clone has completed.)
Step 6: Boot from the SSD
The final step is to change the boot order in BIOS so that your computer boots from the new SSD. If the cloned SSD will not boot, refer to this page.
- Restart your computer
- Press F2/F12/DEL to enter BIOS
- Set to boot from the SSD
