How Can I Clone an HDD Into an SSD that Runs Windows?🔥

Question

I have an HDD and an SSD right now. But I'm about to give this HDD to my friend since I don't need it anymore. However, my movies, photos, and games are all in it. Is there any way to clone them into my SSD that runs Windows? Can you guide me to do this? Thanks in advance!

Accepted Answer

You can clone an HDD into an SSD that runs Windows by creating a disk image.If you tend to clone the HDD to the SSD that runs Windows, the SSD will be overwritten during the cloning process, and the operating system will be erased. Such an operation will cause critical consequences. Cloning a hard drive is a procedure that creates an identical copy of the original. Thus, the section of your inquiry where you state into an SSD is unable to be done.However, if you want everything on your HDD moved to the SSD, you can create a disk image backup and then restore it on the SSD. You don't need to worry about the SSD getting overwritten this way. I recommend you use professional backup software like EaseUS Todo Backup.2It has the ability to back up and restore files through an image file. Follow the guide below now.❗Note: Make sure your SSD is big enough to hold all the data from the HDD; the partition style of both the source and the recovery disk should be the same.Stage 1. Create an image backup for the HDD.Step 1. Download and launch EaseUS Todo Backup and click Create Backup to start.Step 2. Select Disk for backup and select the destination for saving the image.Step 3. Click Options and set the backup mode as Image mode.Step 4. Click Backup Now to create a disk image.Stage 2. Restore the image backup on the SSD.Step 1. Open EaseUS Todo Backup and click Browse to Recover.Step 2. Guide to your backup destination, then choose the image file.Step 3. Choose the recovery disk and click Proceed to perform.You can see that all the files on the HDD are now on the SSD. It is worth mentioning that keeping everything on a single disk is quite risky since you might encounter unexpected system failure or other errors. Therefore, it is highly recommended to separate the OS from personal files and other programs.
