How to Clone GPT Disk to SSD in Windows 10/8/7 Without Boot Failure

Overview of GPT Disk Cloning

Compared with a traditional hard drive, SSD offers faster speed for data reading/ writing/transfer, safer way to protect data, and better performance in a severe environment. Thanks to all the advantages, SSD is becoming increasingly popular. And more and more users are deciding to upgrade their old GPT HDD to SSD. This job would be easily done by using a professional GPT disk to SSD cloning tool, and EaseUS Todo Backup is such software that allows you to clone GPT HDD to SSD in Windows 10/8/7 without any startup issue.

How to Clone GPT HDD to SSD in Windows 10/8/7

EaseUS Todo Backup is one of the top data backup programs that can directly clone GPT disk to SSD without conversion while the destination disk remains bootable.

With an intuitive interface, you can easily use this application to do entire or selective file backup, disk/partition backup, Outlook backup, cloud backup, as well as the system backup.

You may watch this three-minute video tutorial at first to know the whole procedure for cloning GPT disk to SSD.

Step 2. It will pop up the below window and choose the source disk partition (here the GPT/MBR HDD) you want to clone. And then click "Next" to continue. 

Step 3. Choose the destination disk or partition (here the SSD). Tick "Sector by sector clone" in Advanced options, with it, you can clone all sectors from source disk to the destination disk.

Step 4. You are allowed to preview the disk layout in advance, then click "Proceed" to clone GPT/MBR HDD to SSD.

How to Fix Boot Failure While Cloning MBR Disk to GPT

You may have trouble in cloning MBR disk to GPT SSD. That's because when you migrate OS to SSD/HDD by disk cloning, both of the source disk being cloned and the destination disk receiving the clone have to be either MBR disk or GPT disk. Otherwise, you may suffer a boot failure issue after disk clone. Then how to clone MBR disk to GPT without boot problem? Link to the topic page to get the correct guide.
