Question Can I trasnfur a drive partition to a new drive?

[Maxwell Eddison]

I want to upgrade my PC to have an SSD, butI already have several Terabytes of data stored on an HDD. Is it possible to create a partition with Winows and a few programs on that I can then transfur to an SSD to use as my boot device? This would save me alot of time as I would not have to backup and reinstall all of my data.

No, you either need to unisntall, move files from the disk so it fits on the SSD as a clone, or install Windows clean on the SSD.

No, you can't split it like that.

When you say "Data" - Does that include Apps or Programs or just files such as pics, videos, documents ...

Also, if the data is important, it should already be backed up. You never know when your drive will die.
