Welcome to the largest community for Microsoft Windows 10, the world's most popular computer operating system!.There is also the fact that I should be able to choose what I boot off of in the boot menu itself and if that doesn't work I'll do the whole SATA switch thing. I'd rather not switch the satas because due to my laptops shape, it was a pain to get the SSD in there and it will take a good 10 minutes just taking out.
From there I can boot off the drive specifically hopefully without changing the SATA ports (correct me if I'm wrong there). K thanks, what I'm gonna do is clone the OS to the SSD, then proceed to disconnect the HDD after the cloning. "I mean I technically can disconnect it but then it'd be a pain." You wish the boot partitions and the C partition to be on the SSD, and exclude the D partition.Īt some point, you're going to have to open it up and swap the drives around.Īnd you need to have the HDD disconnected, if only to verify that it actually boots correctly from the SSD only. Also the D drive is a partition of off the C anyways so I can't disconnect it physically.Ĭurrently, 1 physical drive, 2 partitions. I mean I technically can disconnect it but then it'd be a pain. I do have a samsung SSD so can I do that without the rebooting and disconnecting. So I forgot to mention that I'm doing this on a laptop. Maybe reboot a time or two, just to make sure. It should boot from the new drive, just like the old drive. Swap the SATA cables around so that the new drive is connected to the same SATA port as the old drive Select ALL the partitions on the existing C drive Deselect that D partitionĭisconnect ALL drives except for the new SSD Run the Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration) Verify the actual used space on the current drive is significantly below the size of the new SSDĭownload and install Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration, if a Samsung SSD)ĭisconnect ALL drives except the current C and the new SSD These steps, and modify for your specific needs: Macrium Reflect will allow deselecting that D partition, and excluding it from the clone operation.
Any help on the subject would be appreciated since I haven't seen anything about it anywhere else. I would just do my HDD but I also have to port over the boot commands and the windows recovery partitions. My C and D drive are part of the same tree due to them being partitions of my HDD. Only problem is that with EaseUS ToDo, it seems that the source for the cloning is only a single drive or all my drives. So I'm trying to clone my OS from my HDD to my SSD.
