Trying to Clone my Boot SSD to my new SSD

[kyleeer7]

Hello I have a Samsung 850 Evo and i want to make it my boot drive and wanted to clone my current boot drive because i didnt want to lose everything that was on it. I looked up a tutorial on Youtube and followed each instruction but everytime I clone my drive my 850 Evo ends up having the same storage as my old SSD? My 850 Evo has 512GB and i'm using Macrium to clone my drive if that helps. Need help ASAP, I have linked some screencaps if they help

It's a Samsung drive so you should use the Samsung magician cloning software.

Specific steps for a successful clone operation:
-----------------------------
Verify the actual used space on the current drive is significantly below the size of the new SSD
Download and install Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration, if a Samsung SSD)
Power off
Disconnect ALL drives except the current C and the new SSD
Power up
Run the Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration)
Select ALL the partitions on the existing C drive
Click the 'Clone' button
Wait until it is done
When it finishes, power off
Disconnect ALL drives except for the new SSD
This is to allow the system to try to boot from ONLY the SSD
Swap the SATA cables around so that the new drive is connected to the same SATA port as the old drive
Power up, and verify the BIOS boot order
If good, continue the power up

It should boot from the new drive, just like the old drive.
Maybe reboot a time or two, just to make sure.

If it works, and it should, all is good.

Later, reconnect the old drive and wipe as necessary.
Delete the 450MB Recovery Partition, here:
