In this tutorial, I will be demonstrating how to clone your Windows OS from a mechanical hard drive or SSD to an M.2 SSD for free.
This approach can be used to copy either only your operating system, or your entire disk which includes your operating system, applications, files, settings, and anything else on your hard drive to the M.2 SSD. You can also choose to copy only certain partitions of your disk to the M.2 SSD. Now here are some of the scenarios where you would possibly need this technique:
• First is of course when you want to change from a mechanical hard drive to an M.2 SSD storage.
• Second is when you want to combine a mechanical hard drive with an M.2 SSD, normally using the SSD for your Windows and applications, and then the mechanical hard drive for storage.
• The third is when you want to upgrade from a smaller to a larger M.2 SSD especially if your laptop only has the M.2 socket for storage and you’re running out of disk space.

One question?
When you select Disk clone, you are coping all, including the operative system? I mean, in my case is move from a small capacity ssd m2 to another bigger, if I select that option (disk clone) I finish the process an I only connect the cloned ssd it would work as the first?
If you answer this THANK YOU SO MUCH.
After Windows booting upgrading hdd to ssd then. Windows booting from ssd windows update coming or not please reply
Very easy to follow and it worked great. I did lose the hard drive, until I assigned it a letter. I also sent a link to Asus Customer Support.
I need some help man.
I selected the migrate OS but when I'm choosing the new SSD, it says "The specified disk is too small." And I can't proceed to the next step.
Thank you so much. This simplified something I was dreading learning how to do.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. After 3 failed copying attempts and using different programs, I finally was able to boot my ssd following your video!
Loved how the video was not rushed, nice work was very easy to follow.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
Awesome video! You explain it very well. Thanks for creating this tutorial - it's the first video I ever saw of you - but I feel confident I can do this now!
Awesome video. Ive been at this for hours and couldnt figure it out until I watched your How-to. Thank you!!!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Good to see you again easytechs clicked as soon as i saw the notification :)
Thanks for the support:)
Thank you so much for this simple and concise guide. You are a great teacher 💪💪
Thank you very much. That was the most helpful. I been needing to clone or move to drive with a larger capacity (1T), because my Acer Nitro 50's 250GB SSD is running a bit low and I don't want to max out. I will check out the rest of your tutorials about HDD/SSD to M.2 SSD. Really appreciate it.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Thank you very much brother! You just got a new subscriber!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback! Welcome to the community!
Thank you for posting this tutorial! It was extremely helpful. Saved me a lot of time and energy
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
Bro i have lenovo laptop with 1tb hdd in which 500gb is used. I only want to migrate my os not files in my 240 gb nvme SSD can I do it?
Thank you so much man! I was struggling on how to do all this but with the application you suggested and the way you explained you made sooo easy for me. 🙏🇮🇳
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback !
Great video man. Very well explained. Im planning to add an nvme m.2 to my laptop as boot up drive and this is exactly what i needed.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Excellent Tutorial!
Very helpful for exactly what I want to do for migrating to a new drive. Thank You
This a is the video I was looking for.
Love the accent and info bro!
This is just what I needed. Brother....you are a life saver.
Nice video. Worked a treat. Also, thanks for talking and not having annoying music.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
The very best video on the subject!
Subscribed. It worked and this was a great tutorial. Thank you!
Great video! Going to reverse engineer this process and remove some programs from my desktop M.2 to the HDD and just leave the OS on it.
5:30
For those of us with the M.2 already installed
it doesn't work for me... my computer restarts "preparing automatic repair".. i did both cloning and migration.. any help? maybe i must use other program?
@@magia8930 yeah, do NOT use minitool. I used a Linux-based open source cloning tool called clonezilla and I cannot recommend it enough. Look up a video on using clonezilla and this process will be so much faster and simpler than trying what's in this video. Just make sure that you have a spare flash drive with about 8gb of free space on it
edit: spelling
Thank you so much!
I was using Acronis provided by Kingston's M.2 SSD and it was horrible and did not work.
Saw this video and got everything running in 20 minutes.
Thank you so so much.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Thanks! I will try this soon. However, I've got a secondary storage RAID volume. Will it still work if I migrate my OS, which is currently on a 120GB SSD to another one?
This reminded me I already had minitool V10 and it worked again transferring SSD os to m2 in a new PC - thanks for posting :-)
Bless you. It worked for me. Was daunting. But made it through. You aree a champion!
Thank you so much this video has been extremely helpful!
Thank you all the way from mexico, very detailed tutorial, perfect explanation and super understandable
Very useful. Thank you very much 😁
Wow round of applause I've been trying to figure this out for awhile now. Thank you sir.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
It's amazing how far we came with tech, the drives becoming smaller and smaller but faster as well
Wow thank you brother your tutorial is the best so far. Finally, i can buy ssd
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Thank you. This was clearly explained & shown. I have a new laptop coming with an ADATA 2.5" SATA SSD, and an NVMe M.2 SSD I wish to use instead that I will install alongside the current SATA drive.
Thank you very much man ! Well explained it worked perfectly for me 🙏
Excellent video. Deserves a like bro . Love from India
This is such a nice and easy to follow video. Subbed!!
Thanks for subbing!
Thanks for the guide. Did you end up making the tutoria showing how to make apps run from the SSD?
Great video, others always make you clone the whole drive
Great video, saves me alot of time. Thank you for your time and effort put into this is.
exactly what i was looking for, YOURE THE BESSSSSSSSSSSSSST
Hi EasyTechs thanks for making great helpful videos. in this video end, you mentioned that you will make a separate video to show us how to setup our apps to run from SSD. didn't seem to find it in your library. can you please help us with the guide? :) keep up the great work!
Absolutely thorough
Great Content bro , keep it up
Such an amazing video sir. Thank you!!!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Excellent quality content! Much obliged!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
I was dumb and messed this up initially by changing drive lettering and names. Thankfully it doesn't wipe the original drive. I tried it again keeping everything default like he shows in the video and it worked perfectly. This video was a huge help.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
But didn't it say it will wipe everything on the og drive??
Thumbs up to this tutorial.. Keep it up sir. Very helpful for me to know about ssd.👏👏👏
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Great video...
I am about to move my OS and all libraries to 2 NVMe M.2 SSD's (1TB each) just after this video
I got the Samsung 980 SSD's
Thanks a lot
best explanation for this process, thanks
Thank you so much! I'm going to install an m.2 in my computer because it takes long for it to load up on my hard drive. :)
this is the video i was looking for, thank you bro !

Thanks bro! You're such a lifesaver!!!
Hello, thanks for the tut. I have a question: If all is OK, can we clean the original mechanical HDD ? all will be work fine ?
Thank you very helpful easy video and i like the program you used because you can migrate OS or copy very simple
Thank you so much for the clarification 👍👍👍!
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Great video. Is there any formatting or prep of your new drive before starting this process? At 9:04 in the video, what is the benefit of checking 'Align partitions to 1MB' - should this be checked or unchecked? I am going to migrate from SATA SSD to M.2. Is that accent Cameroon or Nigeria?
Thank you very much. I really liked to video and the way ypu explained everything clearly. Many thanks bro
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Thank you so much for clearing my doubts! Kindly tell does all my installed programs will also migrate or do I have to install all of them separately ?
Muy bien hecho este tutorial, gracias por dedicar tiempo para compartirlo sin esperar retribución, de nuevo mil gracias.
Nice!!! thanks going to do this in a few months I copied your youtbe link for later. Great video!!!! Just got a new laptop it has 128gb chip with a 1tb of spinner disk.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
very helpful thanks buddy 💓
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
very nice , thank bro
just a question , after cloning , can I delete my previous system drive ?
Bro which ssd brand would u recommend? For a budget price is the crucial ssd M.2 reliable? Or WD Blue? Also, does this cloning program work on all ssd? Since I know some ssd brands has their own tool
What I'm confused about is - do we need to have an external closure? Or is it okay to insert the SSD and keep the HDD for cloning.
very useful. thank you
Awesome! Would anyone know if I have to do something extra en the BIOS other than the boot order for a SSD NVMe I installed? I was able to clone my HDD to the SSD and change the boot to SSD with the cloned Windows but noticed no difference in speed compared to the HDD so I am not sure if I am missing something to make the SSD run Windows and other programs faster on my Lenovo S145 that may be in the BIOS?
Great video!
All instructions for migration perfect. BUT I have 2 nvme slots. I wanted to clone and upgrade C to E, (which I did) but now renaming drives to boot from higher ssd. Running 2019 Helios 300. Or do I have to physically switch sticks?
Did the nVME SSD also carry your previous applications installed in Program files?
Also thumbs up for the articulate and informative video!
Yup everything will be sameeeeee
great video!!
With the Dell laptop, is it best to copy the entire ssd (os,image,recovery,etc) or just the os partition, im upgrading the 128gb ssd that it came with Thanks.
So does migrating OS also allow you to copy the applications installed on the OS
Hi I'm sorry if this question is a bit ignorant. I just wanna ask about the OS that you cloned. Did it also include the applications? Then what would happen to the OS from HDD? Can I delete it?
HI! Very nice video! So after it finished to copy the system files and change the booting source to SSD, does the original system files still exist in the hdd? can i just delete them? Thanks so much
Very helpful 👌
Dude thanks a lot. I successfully added a m.2 ssd in my acer swift 3 and copied the OS using mini tool version 10.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
What model Acer aspire were you using? I have an acer aspire 3 a315-51-31gk and want to install an m.2 with the HDD as storage that it came with.
Question bro, would the drivers be included in the migration of OS only to the SSD? Would it be fine to delete the rest of the OS files left at the HD so I can use it purely for storage?
It works! Thanks
Using these steps, does the apps and games move to the ssd too? Or just the OS? Because i want to moved everything from C partition to the SSD, but keep my file from D partition in HDD
Thank You so much! Migrated my windows from HDD to m2 SSD like a butter.
Hats off to you bro♥️
Helo.. anonymous zone. So this method work for you?
I plan to do this exact process for my PC. I have all my system files and gaming files on only one SSD currently. I want to add an M.2 strictly for system files/boot up and use the SSD for my gaming files. Once I’ve set my M.2 as a boot drive can I just delete the system files from the SSD?
so, you said this only clones, and the windows files remain on source drive. Once you choose for the bios to boot into the newer drive, how do you go about removing the windows files from the source, original drive? To free up space, since those files are no longer needed?
your voice is brilliant
So I’m looking to do this from a data ssd to a m.2 ssd, I assume that will work and follow the video, however can you delete the files on the other ssd after you clone them onto the new one? And does the ssd need to be external? Can I not just put it into the slot in my pc like normal then go on with the process
Is there another free option to clone the OS from a HDD to SSD if the cluster sizes is different? For this method i'd need to buy the pro version
Thank for the video man! Where you from?
Thank you!!
Question! Could I transfer the OS without formatting my laptop? I’m planning to buy an m.2 and I don’t want my files gone because I’m still a student and I need some software and files. Would that work out?
its not free anymore:( it direct me to unlock advanced features when clicking finish
Hi how fix my laptop during browsing website. I encountered a graphic code or something like programing language. What should I do to fix this thanks.
Hi, please reply to this comment. I had a HDD and newly installed m.2 SSD 2TB, but I had it installed as extra storage because I’m too afraid that I’ll have to re install my apps e.g fl studio (music software) which includes several installation add-ons within the software. As a result my computer is still slow but I now just have more storage. Although, watching your videos I’m seeing it may be possible to still keep the installed programs once they’ve been cloned to the SSD. I’m wondering if I can clone and then boot from SSD to see if the programs still work (whilst some how disabling the original hard drive) just to be sure that the programs are working from the SSD and not the current hard drive. Then if the programs don’t work would I be able to change the bios to boot back from original hard drive and which still has all the content on it. Surely the programs would still work fine? And I’d be back to square one, a hardrive with an SSD as extra storage? Please let me know, I’m in a crisis! In short I just want to test if the programs would still be installed and work fine on the SSD and if not I’ll just continue with my current scenario
Hello! I was able to successfully go through everything and had to change my boot load order through BIOS to use the new / m.2 as the primary drive. I booted up successfully but now the old drive does not show up as a storage drive. It does not show up at all under "my computer." Is this just a matter of having to format the old drive to be used as storage? Or what would be the best way to do this?
* Side note, I was able to do this FOR FREE by following his instructions in the link he posted. A lot of people are saying you have to pay but this is incorrect. You just need to download an older version as instructed.
Thank you very much for guide. My Desktop does not have M.2 slot, so I want to add through PCIe to M.2 adapter. In this case how use this as my boot drive and clone my hard disk? I do have cloning software came with my Corsair cloning kit, which is basically for cloning regular 2.5 inch SSD with SATA to USB 3 Cable, which I bought to upgrade my Laptop hard drive. I can use a 2.5 inch SATA SSD for my desktop too, but just want to experiment with NVMe SSD through PCIe to M.2 adapter. I hope you hot my intention.
Hey, your explanation is very useful.
I want a clarification from ur side.
I just upgraded my laptop with SSD along with HDD and my hdd is dynamic, so i had to install new os on SSD ,and the new OS on SSD isn't accepting the softwares installed in the HDD. Now i have OS on both the drives, i want the data from c folder of HDD into SSD not the OS what can i do ?
Will this way of migrating work out the same if i got two os on my hdd?? I mean the non-windows os won't suffer, will it?
