I've used a program to copy everything on my hard drive and put it on my SSD it worked but idk how to get my pc to start using that because I'm pretty sure my hard drive is about to go it stays at 100% for no reason and my pc freezes and everything because it idk what to do
 
Solution


Whatever cover is on the bottom or side, open it up and remove the HDD.
Power on and see what happens.

If needed, find the user manual online. It will tell you exactly how to take that drive out.


Details, please.

What 'program'?
Did it work?
Can you boot with all drives disconnected except the SSD?
 


I used HD Tune and as far I know it worked I have a gaming laptop so idk how to disconnect the hard drive but I have tried to boot from the SSD but it gives me like 5 options and honestly I tried to boot from every single one but it would always boot from the hard drive
 


HDTune is not a cloning/migration application.
I don't know what you did, but it wasn't moving everything from the HDD to the SSD.
 


Well...... thats not good lol
 


My bad I used a program called TBW
 


TBW?
Total Bytes Written?
Total Body Weight?
A city in Western Russia?

I am not aware of an application called "TBW"
 


lol EaseUS Todo Backup Workstation
 


I have no clue how to get it to boot with only the SSD connected if you mean like I actually disconnect the hard and leave only the SSD idk how
 


Yes. Actually physically disconnect the HDD.
Obviously, you disconnect it with power OFF.
 


lol I am aware but I have a laptop so will it be like disconnecting a HDD from a desktop
