Transferring/migrating OS from a sluggish system drive to a modern HDD/SSD will make a huge difference to the performance and responsiveness of your PC. The best and easiest way is to clone your old drive to a new one. This is because cloning can help you transfer everything, including the OS and data, to a new hard drive without data loss and make the target drive have the same disk layout as the old one. Since Windows has no preinstalled cloning settings, you have to use third-party cloning software like EaseUS Todo Backup to help you clone a hard drive.
