[SOLVED] SSD

[SMS85]

So i currently have 1tb HDD and 120gb SSD, today i brought a new 500gb SSD ........

Crucial MX500 500 GB CT500MX500SSD4-Up to 560 MB/s (3D NAND, SATA, M.2 Type 2280SS, Internal SSD)

The problem im having is i only have one slot for the m.2 SSD and the SSD i have now has windows installed on it and few other files, so how can i install the new SSD and copy all the things that are on my old SSD to the new SSD if i only have the one SSD slot?

Thanks.

Still the Error 2?

Well...cloning is not an exact science. When it works, its great.
When it fails, however....

Time to do a clean OS install on this new drive.

Great news the image has complete, Thanks.

OK then!

Now, swap drives, boot from the USB, and reverse the process.

So I have turned pc on with new ssd in and its on the macrium reflect page first thing it came on to so how do I boot from the USB?

When you tell it the image and new drive, you should be able to tell Macrium to use (most of) the whole drive for the C partition.
It may want to keep that partition at the size of the source .mrimage.

So I selected a image which was the .mrimage. file . So do I 'restore partition'

"Restore Image"

Please show us a screencap of your current Disk Management window.

There was a link for "Copy Selected Partitions"
Then, on the target drive:
"Restored Partition Properties"

There, you can size the C partition to all of the available space.

That should be NO problem.

Right click on the C partition.
There should be an option to Extend.

That will extend the C partition into the blank space to the right.
