Thank you for this! Just upgraded an old windows 7hdd to a 2tb ssd (:
No data loss and took about 40 minutes for 290gb. (just double check to make sure the formats are the same in each drive)
Ok😊
Thank you very much this video is really helpful I bought a larger SSD and could not utilize is full capacity and now I have already made it done because of your video thanks again. And I already subscribed to your channel.
Well, I'm glad I could help you 🙂
This is what I wanted a step by Step Guide...Thank you Brother
Thank you, I migrated W10 from SSD 2TB to NVme 2TB like a sharm although some sectors were damaged in the SSD.
Ok!
This vedio really make me happy all the day love you man
Ok😊💕
My first disk is 1tb HDD and second is 500gb nvme.
3:31 If the size of 2nd disk smaller what setting should we do to clone?
Option #1
why does after cloning I cant access the old drive to the new drive it only show ESP? help me
Bro mine keeps getting stuck at the start after I reset my pc it’s stuck at (00:06)
This is how tutorials should be, for the homies.
Ok😊
I'm a little bit not sure on what to do in my case because I have a 1TB HDD and installed a new 250GB SSD.
I want to use my SSD for windows (boot) and my programs only, and still use my HDD for my local files.
Does following this instructions will "JUST CLON WINDOWS" or it'll clone the files too?
This process clones the entire disk; the program cannot select only Windows or only files. If on a 1TB disk all files including Windows take up a little less than 250 GB, then you can clone a 1TB disk to a 250 GB SSD.
But if 250GB or more is occupied on the disk, then cloning is impossible.
In this case, you can install the new Windows 10 or 11 on the SSD:
ua-cam.com/video/SB-u10x5lFg/v-deo.html
then transfer important files from the 1TB disk to the SSD and after that format the 1TB disk and use it as file storage.
should i have to turn off device encryption before cloning SSD (as i'm using windows 11, it turned on by default) and sign out my microsoft account from my computer before swapping to a cloned SSD? i really would like to upgrade my system disk as a few days ago i was given samsung 990 pro 2tb, i'm so exicited but i'm still nervous for data loss or something 😕 btw thanks for this helpful video ❤️
If Bitlocker is enabled on your computer, you can disable it before cloning.
There is no need to sign out of your Microsoft account, since changing disks from one to another will not affect your Microsoft account or your license.
If you value personal data on the system drive and would not like to lose it, then you can always make a backup copy of the disk image and place it on another drive or in cloud storage.
There are several excellent programs for this function, I prefer to use the Acronis program and constantly store the image of the C drive in another location - in my opinion this is a very good habit😊
Here is a video on how you can use Acronis for home use:

@@Ji-Jamesthanks for your helpful info! ❤️ i'm so excited to do on mine 🥰
@@huuhoangmanh685 Ok!
Hi @James, after I cloned I got partition D, E and C. My SSD is 1TB space that got divided into three partitions. Is anything I can do to combine all the storage into one drive? Thanks.
Hi! These are system partitions that support Windows. You can hide these partitions in the OS settings and there are several ways to do this.
Enter the question in the browser search:
"how to hide the system partition"
and choose the appropriate method
Thanks @@Ji-James
Is this method moving the operatinh system to the ssd from the hdd or it's just creates a clone of the operating system from the hdd to the ssd drive?
@@paulnhlapo2209 This method does not transfer the contents of the first disk to the second disk; all data on the first disk remains unchanged.
Simply put, Mini Tool takes a photo of the data on the first disk and reproduces this photo on the second disk😊
@@Ji-James Thank you. I guess what's left now after doing the cloning is to change my bios to boot using the ssd not the hdd now?
for some reason i click on download and it just doesnt show up anywhere not on brower downloads not in files not in recently downloaded ? i even trred using a different browser but i just cant open up the first installation screen of the minitool partition wizard so im stuck, please help
Most likely this problem is in the browser settings; apparently it has a restriction on downloading this particular file.
Try to buy the latest version of MiniTool, in general it is not expensive and this application has quite a lot of other useful functions, first download the free version, and then decide what to do next.
The new version of MiniTool works like a charm.
Hi, I did it like you have showed in the video, but now my PC cant start. There is just blinking cursor on top left corner. I tried to restart pc and switch BIOS hard disk priority, but still same problem. Can you please give me some tips what is wrong? Thanks!
There can be several reasons for this problem and from a distance it is difficult for me to pinpoint your cause.
Try the following:
1. Return the boot priority settings in BIOS to their previous state.
2. Immediately after restarting the computer, frequently press a certain key (it can be F12, F11, F9, Esс or some other key) to bring up the Boot Menu, in the Boot Menu list select the old disk, press Enter and boot the computer from the old disk .
3. Open This PC and format the new drive, then run the cloning program and try the process again from the beginning.
@@Ji-James I fixed it. There was some problem with my old windows on my HDD i guess so I had to install windows to my SSD throught USB. [Problem was SSD neither HDD did not work, so i wasnt able to lunch windows at all. I have to download win on another pc.]
@@PetrHerian Yes, this is a strange problem - Mini Tool could not affect Windows on the old disk in any way.
And one more thing - before installing Windows on a new SSD, you should disconnect the old disk from the computer, or disconnect the SATA cable from it, so that Windows can be installed on the new SSD completely independently, and there will be no problems.
If you have already installed Windows, I recommend disconnecting the old drive and installing Windows on the SSD again.
Thanks
Ok!
Hi! My screen was stuck at the second part of the cloning, after my pc restarts. It’s just stuck at 1 out of 6 operations. What can i do? Should i shut this down?
From a distance it is difficult to determine the cause of such a problem.
Now you can force restart your computer, format a new disk and start the process from the beginning.
Try to complete all the settings according to my video and without errors.
Will i be able to still use the operating system on the old HDD or ssd? Do I lose files on the Windows HDD or it will be restored after cloning?
After cloning, you can use Windows on the old disk and you can also use Windows on the new disk.
To select the disk from which you want to boot the computer, after turning on or restarting the computer, you must immediately call the Boot Menu, select the required disk in the menu and press Enter.
If you continue to use the old and new drives, the files on those drives will not be deleted.
it did it but now its still booting from my old ssd, i see the cloning worked, how do i boot from the newer one?
spoke to soon, i restarted and went in bios then set the boot to the new one... good video thanks!!!
If in the BIOS you set the new disk to first place in Boot Priority, then now after turning on the computer the new disk will boot.
If Windows runs smoothly on the new drive for a few days, you can format the old drive and use it as data storage.
Thank you
Ok!
Mines been stuck on Welcome to Partition Wizard, Copy partition: 0% for quite a while now, what do i do
Most likely there is something wrong in the program settings, now force restart the computer and start the process from the very beginning.
Can I clone or migrate my windows 11 to a usb flash drive and then install my new Samsung 990 pro 4TB M.2 nvme SSD and then transfer my windows 11 back to the SSD?! I have a gaming PC with a cheap and slow 2TB M.2 SSD and I just ordered the new 4TB 990 pro but I don’t think I have another screw to hold it in place of an additional M.2 slot on my motherboard… I don’t want to lose ANY of my downloads either so anyone got any advice for me to transfer from one M.2 nvme SSD to a new one?!
Yes, you can transfer the old disk to an external USB drive and so on, I recommend doing this using Mini Tool Pro for one computer, since I’m not sure that the old and free version of Mini Tool can do this:
www.partitionwizard.com/buy.html
The only thing is that your USB drive must have a capacity no less than the old disk.
Of course, at the beginning you can try the old version of the program..
hey im not sure what i did wrong. i changed my main hdd from gpt to mbr to match my ssd and it made me restart, and now my pc wont go back to windows, it says “RECOVERY: your pc/device needs to be repaired so now im confused on what i did wrong”
Hello, I don’t understand why you changed the partition scheme on the Windows disk?
Before doing anything on the computer, you need to CAREFULLY listen and watch the recommendations from the video.
After all, in my video it was said that if a Windows disk has an MBR partition scheme, then you need to convert the SECOND DSK to MBR. The disk cloning process must occur with the same partition scheme on both disks.
This means that if the main disk is GPT, then the new one must also have the same partition scheme, that is, GPT.
But you did the opposite, you converted the main disk, that is, the disk with Windows and most likely lost all the data on this disk..
There are special programs with which you can change the MBR to GPT even if Windows does not boot, and if you have another computer or laptop, perhaps your relative or friend has a computer that you can use, then I can send you such a program (free) so that you burn this program onto a USB flash drive and return the GPT to your old disk.
I'm not sure if this will restore the data on the disk, but you can try.
If you have important files on your old drive that you don’t want to lose, then there is another opportunity to recover these files.
hey this is another account but the same person who responded. i appreciate your feedback and i shouldve listened a lot more clear. to be honest there isnt any important files just games, i was just worried because i dont know how to get out of the error code “0xc000000e” screen. can you send the program i would appreciate it, but if that doesnt work out, how can i factory reset my computer so i can download windows on my ssd from that error screen? and if i successfully factory reset it and make my ssd the main drive, can i just download the program from this video and change my hdd back to gpt?
@@MatthewLuna-se2rm If I understand you correctly,
1. there are no important files on your computer
2. You have the opportunity to create a USB flash drive on another computer to change the ICBM to the GPT.
Then the best solution to the problem is to do the following:
1. on another computer create a bootable USB flash drive for Windows 10 or 11, To maintain your license, pay attention to some recommendations in this video:
ua-cam.com/video/SB-u10x5lFg/v-deo.html
2. If your computer is not with UEFI but with BIOS, then it makes no difference what kind of disks you have, MBR or GPT, and therefore you can install a new Windows on a new SSD using a bootable USB flash drive, then format the hard drive and use it as file storage .
3. But if you have a modern computer with UEFI, then you need to convert the SSD to GPT and to do this, first install Windows 10 or 11 on your hard drive using a bootable flash drive, then install the Mini Tool application and convert the SSD to GPT.
4. After this, you can install the new Windows on the SSD and use it as the main disk, but before installation, be sure to do the following:
disconnect the SATA cable from the hard drive so that there are no problems running the new Windows on the SSD.
can i proceed with these steps even though my new drive is not showing on my chipset?
it's showing on boot options and on windows too, but can't find it on chipset area on my bios. my mobo is an old gigabyte b450 aorus elite.
can you help me with this?
If you have finished cloning, now you need to open the Boot tab in the BIOS, and put the new disk in first place in the boot priority:
ua-cam.com/video/_vU4IIvLmd0/v-deo.html
After that, press F10 and save the changes in the BIOS.
The computer will reboot and will log into Windows on the new disk.
@@Ji-James thank you so much for the help 🙏
@@kick.batoyzkie Ok😊
So what if i want to use both the drives(i have ssd and hdd) how can i clone and if i clone do i have to delete the system files on old drive??
After cloning is completed, you can use the old disk as storage for personal data, but before that you need to format the old disk.
@@Ji-James so now what if I install a game or smtg on my hdd will it run on ssd or hdd?
@@viraajnarve8093 The old HDD and the new SSD are not related to each other in any way and cannot interact with each other in any way.
If you install some application on the HDD, it will not be on the SSD and this application will only work on the disk on which you install it.
after restarting my pc froze after 10 sec help
i cant figure out how to change my new drive to my boot drive in my bios. is it really that important to configure that in the bios? because when i click the option 'windows boot manager' in my bios it just brings me to the startup screen of my pc lol?😂
If you haven’t solved the problem yet, you can watch about it a little later today in my other video; as soon as I finish making it, I’ll immediately post it on UA-cam.

thanks for trying to help but i cant find anything that will help me change what drive to boot off of🥲 ive clicked on everything in my bios and i cant find anything sadly i think its a problem with my bios tbh this has happened before with trying to speed up my ram through xmp in my bios my motherboard just doesnt have it.
if i were to move everything from C drive to my new drive, is it okay to just keep windows on c will my pc still work correctly?
@@Ji-James
I tried but this didn't work for me. Computer couldn't boot with new SSD. It will boot with original one. My question, does the new SSD have to be unallocated to successfully clone? Mine was already located. Thanks!
Now you can try the following:
Restart your PC and immediately after rebooting, call up the Boot Menu, then in the Boot Menu, select the new SSD and press Enter.
If the new SSD won't boot again, then boot from the old disk, format the SSD and start the process from the very beginning.
Please note that both disks must have the same partition scheme, either GPT or MBR.
@@Ji-James Thanks! After I cloned why so I get so many disk names like E, F, J etc?
@@pinkdesire82 For some reason, after cloning, Windows shows its system drives.
Under no circumstances should you delete them; these disks can be hidden in Windows settings.
Write in the browser search “How to hide system drives in This PC” and choose the appropriate method for yourself.

Hello during cloning up to 50%+ my screen goes black screen do I wait for it for an hour?
Apparently the program froze..
You can wait a little longer and if the process freezes, force restart your computer, format a new disk and start the whole process from the very beginning.
@@Ji-James owh okay thank you!
How long should this take? Im in the loading engine and it's not even loading to 1%
1% - it shouldn't be like that...
Force restart your computer, format the new disk, carefully check all the settings in the program and start the process from the very beginning.
how do i do this and transfer everything from one ssd to the other?
Good question!
You can find out all this in my video.
This doesnt explain anything. When i try to copy to a disk smaller than os it says since a different sector size on the source disk mini partition tool cannot continue @James-Ji
@@CaveManEDU305 Of course this is true - if the new disk is smaller in size than the old disk, then cloning is impossible.
Try pouring a 15 liter bucket of water into a 10 liter bucket and you will see what happens😊
Thank u so much 🫶❤️
Ok😊
Wizzard 10 is dead.
I have done it correctly, but it created a whole new drive with only 329 mb of storage. Is it normal or?
Yes, this is a system disk that supports Windows and this is normal - you can see the appearance of such a disk in my video.
@@Ji-James ahh okay makes sense, thanks for the reply. Is there any way to hide it, you know of?
@@Benjamin-tp2wl I didn't have such a question..
Perhaps this is in the Explorer settings, but I don’t know for sure.
How long should it take
It depends on the size of the disks and the speed of your computer.
Approximately 20 - 60 minutes.
If I cloned someones window, what would happen to their pc?
You can clone someone's Windows onto 10 other computers and nothing bad will happen to the Windows of the first computer.
But it’s not a fact that this clone will work on other computers without problems, because the hardware on other PCs is different, there are driver compatibility problems, and so on.
@@Ji-James alr ill try
Why does partition tool keep asking me to subscribe before use? Is this app not totally free anymore??
I don't know why it worked for you exactly.
Judging by the number of views and likes for this video, no one has ever had such a problem, you are the first.
Try to remove this program and its installation file, clean the registry of program remnants, restart your PC, download the program from the website again and try to go through the whole process from the very beginning.
I’m having this problem too, did you fix it?
@@JoshuaWard-ys6wd Most likely this is some kind of program glitch...

Sorry, but I didn't understand your question
➡ This video shows how to change Boot Priority in BIOS:
ua-cam.com/video/xRo1x2A0Pfg/v-deo.html
👉PLEASE ATTENTION!!! Do not under any circumstances change the MBR or GPT on the main Windows disk, otherwise you will lose ALL data on the disk!!!
Hello, I used a different tutorial from some other channel and I've accidentally messed up things. My ssd has 70gb unallocated space and the things I've copied has just filled up my ssd and it's not set as the main os drive too. How do i clear the ssd or reset it back to the way it was?? Please help
Hi, if the cloning was successful, then you can do the following:
1. Open the BIOS and in the Boot section put the new disk in Boot Priority first, then after turning on the computer will boot from the new disk.
This video shows how to do this, most likely your BIOS looks different, but the principles of action will be the same:
ua-cam.com/video/xRo1x2A0Pfg/v-deo.html
2. This video shows how to attach unallocated space to drive C:
ua-cam.com/video/0t-yZhEH9E8/v-deo.html
little risky as i lost my data with this process last time reason old MBR but new one is GPT
Of course, there is some risk here, but only if you do not carefully follow the instructions and make mistakes in the settings.
the cloning process is quite slow.
62% for 3 hours
This continues unacceptably slowly - most likely the problem is in the Mini Tool settings.
If your computer freezes, try interrupting the process and forcefully restarting your computer.
After that, format a new disk and start the process from the beginning.
It’s not free
Please tell us in more detail at what stage you discovered that it was not free, and indicate the timestamp.
For example 2:35
The thing is, I just tried it and didn't find any problem.
Is it possible that you did something wrong?
