There are a few ways to transfer Windows 10 from an HDD to an SSD without cost. For example, you can use Macrium Reflect Free or Clonezilla to help you clone your HDD to an SSD. But the Macrium Reflect Free edition will be retired, and Clonezilla is complex to use.

You can try to clean install Windows on an SSD for free. This is because you can use the Windows Media Creation tool to help you install Windows on a new SSD. You need to download the tool and Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft's official site. However, this is time-consuming because there are many procedures to operate.

In fact, cloning is the best way to help you transfer Windows from an HDD to an SSD. This is because cloning lets you copy all data from one hard drive to another, including the OS.

Nowadays, very few cloning tools let you perform a cloning task without cost. Although it is freeware, it has very limited features, and you may fail to clone your Windows.

You just pay a few, but you can enjoy much convenience and save effort. You just need to click several times, and everything will go well. EaseUS Disk Copy can help you well in this regard.
