[SOLVED] Migrating OS (Windows 10 Home) from HDD to SSD

[ZGlaze]

I've had a PC with only an HDD for around 6 months now and I recently purchased a PCIe m.2 SSD and installed it today. I was wondering if anyone could explain to me how I migrate/transfer JUST my OS (Windows 10 Home) from my HDD to my SSD. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

"just the OS"

That cannot happen.
There is no function or application to migrate "just the OS" to a different drive.

What size is the new SSD?
How much actual space is consumed on the current HDD?
What size/make/model is the SSD, and what motherboard is this on?

the new SSD (Viper VPN100 PCIe m.2 SSD) is 512 GB and its installed into a B450f asus strix rog mother board and 300 GB are already on my HDD

As said, you can't do 'just the OS'.

However, 300GB will easily fit into the 512GB drive.
However #2, cloning from a SATA drive to PCIe can be problematic.
