How to Move OS to SSD Without Cloning
I have a 1TB HDD and just got a Samsung 250GB SSD. I want to do a fresh install of Windows, but I don't want to clone the OS over. Is it possible to move OS to SSD without cloning? I'd really spell this out for me step by step, so I don't turn my PC into a toaster. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

- Click "Finish" when the USB is ready, and restart your system and click Install Now.
- Choose the location where you want to install the operating system, then click the Custom option to perform a clean installation of Windows.
- Next, select the partition where you want to download your OS and click unallocated to start the task.
