Please note: When installing Version 11.5, you will likely get a pop-out notification from Windows Security reporting a threat (low) "PUABundler-Win32/FusionCore" or "Browser Modifier" or something similar. This is not a problem, you can ignore it and proceed or remove it and proceed, it really doesn't matter. This happens because Windows Security sees that the app may include 3rd party offers, meaning it may try to install unwanted software after installing the Minitool Partition Wizard. Just pay attention at the end of the installation if it prompts you to install additional software just ignore or uncheck the option, or close the installation, the actual app would have already been fully installed at this point.

In this video, we show how to fully transfer your Windows operating system and Data to another storage drive without losing your Windows license and without losing any files or applications. The new storage drive, in this case, could be an SSD or HDD.
This can be used when upgrading from HDD to SSD, replace a failing disk, mirror your PC to another PC, or upgrade to a larger storage disk without losing anything.
If you observe any changes in the procedures due to change in minitool version, please read the article for updated instructions: www.easytechstutorials.com/ho...

Hello, thanks for the video as usual. I did everything as mention by you but i kept having error when I boot from the clone disk. I have done several times and keeping getting same error message; Recovery your pc/Device needs to be repaired . I have ssd disk of bigger space that was initially installed windows but i wanted to clone it with the lesser size and new computer. I don't know if i have to format it specially before the cloning?
@@user-ul1ws3bm2iIf not mistaken, you need to clone with same size.. Exmpl, 1tb for 1tb, cannot be less than that.
Thanks so much. And for free!
@@user-ul1ws3bm2i If your mobo supports UEFI you need to initialize your new disk with GPT not MBR. In BIOS set boot mode from Legacy to UEFI + Legacy
Exactly want I needed to upgrade my Lenovo from a 250 GB SSD to a 2TB SSD. Clear instructions both here and on your website. Thanks so much!
So this is real?
@@user-nv4lh1oo4k yea it’s real
You are welcome!
@@DeafGamerLifeit also copies all software installed for eg Solid works?
@@vidhikshapatel6688 yes it clone everything
Love you dude. My dad's laptop took ages to boot, atleast like 10 mins. I suggested to install an ssd to speed up the laptop myself without any idea on how to actually install it. Your video was a life saver for me as I was completely clueless.After following your video, i was able to successfully replace old hdd with sata ssd. Only problem i faced was that it took 4.5 hours to copy files which was done perfectly. Now it loads within 15 seconds which is insane. Again thank you so much😊
Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial I was nervous when trying to upgrade to a higher size hard drive because of the fear of corruption but I now I feel confident in transferring windows.
Glad it was helpful!
Followed your instructions and voila! Works like charm. Thank you for sharing.
I was trying upgrade from a generic 512GB SSD to a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro, became frustrated and about to take it to a computer repair shop until I found your video and free software link you provided. Your step by step video worked perfectly and saved be both time and money. Thank you for the help are are great
You have no idea for how long I've been looking for a video like this!!!! THANK YOU!!!! a BIG Thank you!!!! you are legit. the other videos I watched were outdated, hard to follow, had broken links, etc etc. your video, I follow step by step and everything is working perfectly, and no data lost. again THANK YOU!!!!!!
Glad I could help!
Great Job! Was nervous to do this and you made very straightforward 🙂
Great video! Perfect step-by-step tutorial with amazing production value. Very well done!
Changed an SSD to an SSD with more capacity. Followed step by step and worked perfectly. Excellent.
Glad it helped
Are you on Windows 11? I want to upgrade my 1TB ssd to a 2TB ssd. I'm scared of doing this. But it worked with no issues? Did you get the restart error?
@@_fantasticscenesYou need to put both hard drives on a 3'rd computer or else it will only say that it can't be completed because the main C: drive is in use by the operating System.
Your CZcams videos on "How to clone HDD" are exceptional. I was not faced with the problem of unallocated space. The drive's space was completely utilized in one go. I appreciate you sharing.
Just finished migrating to my new SSD, so thankful for this video!
Excellent tutorial. Everything worked smoothly and very easy to follow. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video Brother. Super clear and you made it very easy for us
Glad to hear it!
I need help, I followed the stuff but when the pc restarted it said error code 19, “check file system” anybody know how to fix this?
Clear instructions, everything is working seamlessly, thank you so much!
I watched sevral videos and over and hour of trying your video helped me thank you!
Excellent video. To the point and including important information. Much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
mate, this is such a great video!! very informative, great pacing, nice simple steps! I just subscribed! Great job, cheers mate!
thanks for your helpful video, unfortunetly after following all your tutorial right when it asked for restart the system it restart the system and tried to boot into black partition wizard cloning but when prompted 5 seconds to reset it just continued to boot to windows any solution ?
Thank you so much this video just saved me, had a work ssd failing but managed to clone it to a new one. 10/10
Top notch quality video. Thank You!
Hello sir, 1 question. Do i need to change my ssd format from MBR to GPT before cloning the ssd? My current ssd is 512GB and i wanna replace with the 2tb one, the newer one still use an MBR format
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
Clutch tutorial. Thanks Man!
Thank you! Your tutorial helped me a lot
Thanks mate - much appreciated. Swapped out a slower nvme for a 980pro.
hi, does the source disk have to be on external? can i do it when the source disk is internal?
Thanks for the clear instructions!
This is unusual: I don't think I've experienced any issues during the process. Whenever I try to do something, there always arise several problems, but not this time.
Thank you for a great tutorial
wow ... out of many videos found this one handy. very excited for seeing machine boot under 5 sec compared with >1 min earlier. Both video steps and procuring hardware was easy. Upgraded my 10 year old (back then bought for 800$) nvidia graphic card + 4 core + i5 dell inspiron 15R N5110 512GB HDD w/ 1TB SSD ($45) ; also upgraded from 4GB RAM to 16GB (2x8GB) ($15). total cost for upgrade - $60 and boot time reduced from >1 min to
Thanks for the vid and software link. Worked very well for me.
Can use this method to move my windows and files from an old laptop to a new one?
Or should i take the old drive and just plug it to the new one
I called a local pc repair shop. They wanted to charge me $450 and 5 days of work. Thank you this was so easy !!!
Just wanted to say thank you very much for this video. Everything seems to be functioning ok but I do have some questions as to why the cloned drive is not identical when it comes to labeling the partitions.
When looking in disk management, my original 500GB SSD had what appeared to be 4 partitions. When looking in file explorer, I could only see the C: Drive at 458GB. So basically 3 of those 4 partitions were hidden in file explorer. This is what I see in disk management:
ORIGINAL 500GB SSD
1. 260 MB Healthy (EFI System Partition)
2. OS (C:) 458.34 GB NTFS Healthy (Basic Data Partition)
3. 850 MB Healthy (Recovery Partition)
4. 17.50 GB Healthy (Basic Data Partition)
So then I ran the cloning process on the new 2TB SSD and once finished, file explorer shows an E: Drive for 0.98 GB and a C: Drive for 1.74 GB. The reason the D: Drive letter is not used is because I also have a 2.5 inch HDD installed which the letter D is assigned to. In file explorer the E: Drive on this new cloned SSD is not able to open. I get a message saying "You don't currently have permission to access this folder." In disk management here is how the partitions are labeled on the new SSD:
TARGET 2TB SSD
1. 1016 MB Healthy (EFI System Partition)
2. OS (C:) 1790.40 GB NTFS Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Basic Data Partition)
3. 3.24 GB
4. 68.36 GB Healthy (Basic Data Partitiion)
So I'm guessing that the size differences is based on percentages of the new larger SSD since it went from cloning a 500GB to a 2TB SSD. I also think that the new cloned SSD showing the E: Drive 0.98 GB in file explorer is basically that 1016 MB EFI System Partition (correct me if I'm wrong) which may also be why I can't open that drive. My question is why is it showing up only on this new SSD? On the original SSD there was no E: Drive or any other drive showing in file explorer other than C: Drive. Is there a way to hide this E: Drive?
My other question is the labels of the partitions in disk management. If you look at the first 4 partitions mentioned (ORIGINAL 500GB SSD) above, the labeling of the partitions do not match the TARGET 2TB SSD labels. The first one on the list which is the EFI System Partitions seem to match up label wise and the 4th on the list which is the labeled as (Basic Data Partitions) seems to be ok as well but the other 2 are different. The TARGET C: Drive has extras like boot, page file, and crash dump. Why is that? Then on TARGET there is also that nameless 3.24 GB by itself which I think was supposed to be cloned for the 850 MB Recovery Partition from the ORIGINAL SSD and maybe that is what it cloned but why is there no label for it?
So basically just curious if I need to be concerned with any of these issues mentioned above. I would like to hide the E: Drive since I can't seem to open it anyway and let me know if the labels are all ok even if they don't match in disk management.
Thanks for your time.
Have you found any solution for this issue?
@@niovanmartinez3343 I ended up returning the 2TB SSD (Silicon Power brand) and getting another one (Crucial brand) and it worked out better. I used 2 different softwares to clone. The Mini Partition Wizard was the one that did the job. I also think I corrupted that the Silicon Power one by using a USB hub during cloning instead of plugging it in directly to my laptop. Kept running into errors with the hub and I couldn’t figure out why. I kept having to reformat the SSD to try again and finally when I plugged it directly into the laptop it went all the way through the cloning process without error but I think the drive was already corrupt and that’s why I had all those unusual partitions. So when I got the Crucial SSD and just did it without the hub, it seemed to work all lot better and the partitions seemed to match up better but not identical still which still kind of bothered me. I think it was the recovery partitions that had something weird about it. Sorry I can’t remember the exact details since it was a while ago but either the label was off for that partition or it couldn’t clone it at all. All I know is that I’m going to keep my original 500gb SSD intact just in case I need that recovery partition in the future. My laptop didn’t come with any installation discs for Windows so I think it might he tricky to do a factory reset or anything of that nature if I don’t have that recovery partition. Hope that helps.
Hi, im runing out of space in my 100gb ssd wich is the C DISK where i have windows and all that stuff, my question is if i can clone this info into my new bought ssd disk WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. I mean, would i need to re-install windows and stuff? or i can just dump all this old disk c info into a new disk c?
thank you for your help. I will try it out. however I am faced with this problem, I have installed new windows setup on the ssd which is what i am using in my computer now. I have an external HDD and i want to copy all the files installed on it (thus in its drive c, including its old windows installation setup) unto the new ssd which I can currently using. Please how do I go about this one
hi great vidoe
1 question
can i do the opposite?
override a working system with old drive?
i mean to over run the local drive from an external drive
thanks
Thanks for the the video… got one question everything worked great but got 3 additional particions that te clone creates … how do I deleted them ?
I do have a question for you EasyTechs. Is it the same process of steps in this tutorial video when cloning from regular SSD to SSD NVMe M.2?
I followed your Tutorial and everything worked perfectly! Really thanks for your outstanding job
Glad it helped!
How i used the m.2 then i download windows 😭 now i need clone my old file in HDD so help me how
Thank you man.
It worked as described.
Just for some reason when I reinstalled the cloned hdd it took like 20min to boot up but it worked.

thank you for these tutorial ill try it later!
Followed this and it worked out great! I'll try it again on my other device with a different ssd size. I saved more than 100 USD. Thank you so much.
But can I clone my windows 10 to a different partition of the same nvme drive?
Awesome! Extremely well organised, excellent, clear instructions.
Glad it was helpful!
thank you for explaining. this method is much better than having to reinstall all drivers, programs and all of that business.
Im trying to upgrade my ram and storage on my laptop but i was hesitant on the cloning and licensing windows plusbother setting. I was thinking of going the geek squad route. But this video is about to save me over $150 in service fees, which i can put into even better ram and storage. Thank you so much
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback
Twice I attempted to clone using the suggested application, but I could not get passed "Operation "Copy partition" cannot be completed...". I used option A), but the operation did not continue. Computer only restarted. Windows prompt screen appeared but operation could not continue. I am trying to clone existing 256 SSD to a formatted and partitioned 2TB SSD so I can replace the 256. Any thoughts or suggestions much appreciated.
Will this work if I install the old hdd and the new ssd into a different computer internally for this process? Then just put the ssd into the laptop I wanted to upgrade?
Wow!!! Man... you are so clear and precise in your explanation. My child can do this too. Thanks for the information
Thank you so much, this was super easy and it only took me 30 min! i have a desktop but it worked just the same
I wish i watched this video two weeks ago as I upgraded my two tower PCs with larger NvNe Drives, I installed windows via a USB bootable drive then had to re-install all programs and apps, This cloning method is so much better and easier
I only have one concern because I have a few drives with shortcuts from C: to the other drives to save space on my system drive and I dont know if my programs will stop working on the drives that are not C:?! Guessing it's fine since it should be a complete clone right?
Similar problem like user-tn6wo1th8l : Trying to clone a 500GB HD to 1To SSD : MiniTool refuses to proceed "Size of target and source disk differ. As you suggested previously I created NFTS sectors exactely like the source disk. Of corse the non-allocated space still show up. But the problem persists, MiniTool won't clone the disk - still complaining about different size of disk (the non-allocated space won't disappeare)
Any hints ?
Thanks! You are lifesaver.😊 Waiting for results.
I made a clone of SSD with all the steps that you taught me. But my Dell Precision 5520 doesn’t boot from the new hard disk Crucial P3 Plus 4TB PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD. Whats shall I do?
Worked like magic, thank you so much!!!!!!
Glad it helped!
Thanx for the video! Its awsome!!
While makin the clone, says ...failed to read disk.error 23.LBA 50440090..
What does it mean? If windows work ok, what will be the problem?
Thqnx again!
this is the only video that actually helped me as this also the only one where i was able to get the free cloning software 😅 thanks a lot!
big WIN for me also !
It worked for me thank you! But I have a system file now that can't be accessed. Its labelled as drive e: What is it and what should I do about it. Thanks in advance
Dude this is such an awesome video and website walkthrough.
You are a legend
Some state that viruses also go to your new drive and setup!
Did you encounter any abnormal events after the transfer?
Brilliant! Most 'free' utilities either don't work or aren't free at all. This worked a treat so many thanks.
Glad it helped!
Is it normal before even cloning for the ssd to get hot as it's connected to the m2 usb adapter and connected to the computer ?
I have nvme ssd 256 gb and iam buying anew one with 1 tb with adapter after transfering windows and data to the new one can i remove the old one and install the new one to my laptop
Hi
I have couple of very important questions.
1. Will this process clone all the softwares and applications e.g, business software like POS and Microsoft SQL? Will it not affect their workability?
2. Also will this process erase the original (source) disk? If not, will it continue to work like before?
Awaiting your response to start my migration process.
Thanks in advance.

if my laptop gets spoiled,... can i use the cloned windows / product key to install on another new laptop,.?
This tool worked for me where a Macrium clone failed to boot. It's a bit different than other competitors work. When you hit Finish it doesn't just start. It took me a few seconds to figure out why nothing was happening and I needed to click Apply. And it won't complete from the GUI because the "drive is being used" where the others will. And when you restart you get an bare command-line process that runs very slow. But it worked.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback
Hi if my laptop have both sata and m.2 slot and i want to migrate my hdd to my new m.2 sata ssd without using the adapter can i just istall the new ssd to m.2 slot? Thank
Exactly what I was looking for, and excellent tutorial! However the downloadable executable linked in the article has a virus/unwanted software in it.
Thanks for the very informative video! I have a question:
what is better:
1) to clone multiple operating systems to the same external HDD where I have backups of my documents (one separate partition for each OS and another separate partition for my backup)?
2) Or is it better to clone my operating systems (I have 4 of them) to one HDD for each OS,
3) or last option, to backup my documents to HDD #1 and to clone my OSes in one HDD #2 with as many partitions as OSes ?
And if so, why?
Can i select which to clone or not, because i have SSD 256GB and my hard drive reach into 671GB used.
Thank you very much, you saved me time and money with this video. I have subscribed.
Glad it helped
Hi. I've followed your instructions but when in 42% the screen starte to show "Failed to write disk. error:55 LBA:2400800" and it keeps displaying multiple lines of it. And idea on this?
Thanks for guide. I did it yesterday even though it took me over 10hrs, it worked like magic... Thanks again
Glad it helped
Great video, thanks for sharing. Very helpful...
The process of cloning is like copying and pasting or cutting and pasting ??
Is it possible to do this with an external hard drive to ssd? on mac? Thanks
I am trying to clone a 256GB SSD to a 1TB SSD, but it shows "Since a different sector size on the source disk and the destination disk, MinTool Partition Wizard cannot continue", so what should I do next? Thanks.
Try reformatting the destination disk with the same formatting scheme as the source disk
Many thanks sir! Was afraid of losing my licensed software which i couldn’t reinstall or transfer to another pc.. (looking at you turbo tax). This worked flawlessly!
You are welcome!
I just get myself a StarTech Standalone Hard Drive Duplicator/Cloner. Pop drives into the duplicator and 15 mins later (depending on how much you have on your current drive) boom done! This work as well too.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback
how do i put the partions back onto my drive as its split into 3
Fantastic, thank you. I cloned my hard drive of my ten year old samsung laptop onto a 2TB SSD. Followed your instructions with excellent first-time results. My old laptop is better than new.
Glad it helped
Im in the process of cloning now. if in the restart screen it says "memory adress 0xf84b0000 locked" should i be concerned?
very informative and straight forward....😎
Do you keep your files on the other disk that has broke while u transfer your stuff to the another disk
I now have 3 instances of my ssd why? I disconnected my HDD and after cloning it works but shows 3 Drives
It worked beautifully, thanks
Great to hear!
is it possible to make a hardware setup like you did with a NVMe drive? my idea is transfer my Windos from SSD to NMVE drive. thanks in advance. GREAT video, right to the point. thanks for that!
I am upgrading from a 690 gb hdd to 960 gb SSD 🎉
Does this process specifically work for only ssd hard drive or hdd also
Hey man, everytime I restart the pc when it says I should do it (during the cloning) it gives me an error, it tells me that disk configuration changed or something and that it cant continue. Any idea how to solve this?
This is great and straight to point. However please I need assistance. I used this method exactly and changed HDD of two laptops to SSD. All running fine, but none of them opens any external hard disc. I have tried 3 of my external hard disc in each of them and none opened. These same external hard discs open in other computers. Pls any solution from anyone who may have encountered such? Thanks
100% WORKING!!! instructions were clear. Works well after I executed the steps provided in the video
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback
Worked for me. Thanks. Only issue is that it created two additional partitions with my new C drive. One is a system partition with the f letter assigned that is about 1gb. I can't access that as it states I don't have permission to access this folder even though it is a drive not a folder. It doesn't show up in disk manager either, no matter what I do. The second partition is about 2gb with the g letter assigned which I can access and is empty. I'm happy though as it all worked otherwise. Thanks again.
Unfortunately I had to go through a side quest to modify my SSD a 2nd time (this free tech doesn't let me convert it straight to GPT, so I had to fix that). But this was the start of me operating going from 930 GB to 3.63 TB. So thanks a lot for the help!
Your the best I got my system working when I accidentally bricked it
