Hello. I currently have an 8 year old harddrive that is progressively getting slower and I want to transfer all my data including my operating system to a new harddrive so I can boot from a healthier drive, but I'm not sure how to do the transfer. I have my old harddrive installed as well as...

Hi, As always, thanks in advance for any assistance. So I want some extra storage and thought I could also increase speed a little. The idea is get a new M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe (between 250GB-1TB) and clone/migrate my OS SSD to that. This frees up the old 250GB SSD for games, whilst also making...

I removed the data cable from the HDD, so it was clearer which was the NVMe in the BIOS > Boot sequence, and so placed that at #1, and figured that would be fine, but for whatever reason (The reason I'm posting here, really) it prefers to boot to the HDD , well I say prefers, it just does boot...

Hi, Yesterday I cloned the full contents of my HDD (including a Windows and a Ubuntu partition) to my new SSD (Samsung 860 EVO). I can now successfully boot into Ubuntu from the SSD, but when trying to boot into Windows (when my HDD is not connected anymore), I get a blue screen displaying...

Hi all, So, my current desktop setup is Win 10 Pro with 2 internal drives: a HDD, 2Tb C: drive; a 1Tb SSD (Sabrent brand) G: drive. I bought EaseUS Partition Manager Pro to migrate the OS, but I get the message: "Boot disk cannot be selected as target". Is there a way to make the Sabrent...

I'm trying to install a new SSD onto my computer, and I wanted to backup my windows so that I could boot from my SSD. I backed it up (clone feature) using Macrium Reflect (free edition). Windows is now on one of my SSD partitions. When I went into the UEFI BIOS Utility of my computer, it showed...

Hello, I don't know if it exists but here we go: As the title says, I recently bought a better laptop SSD, but I can't mount it without unplugging the old one, because the motherboard has only one SSD slot and one HDD slot. The problem is that on the old SSD I have the bootable C partition...

Hi! :D I'm currently trying to move my Windows 10 from my HDD to my SSD. This seemed possible through software such as "AOMEI Partition Assistant" so I tried it. When asked to select "Unallocated space" on a target disk, I'm not given any options. I tried the same procedure with the software...
