Currently, there are countless people who are running Windows 10, and many of them tend to migrating Windows 10 from HDD to SSD since SSD could bring them wonderful experience in speed, and they also do not want to reinstall Windows and programs.
So, how can we transfer Windows 10 to SSD?
Some SSD manufacturers provide their users with free disk cloning software which is able to clone the entire HDD or SSD to SSD or just transfer Windows 10 to SSD. For example, Samsung Data Migration can help users quickly and easily transfer all data from HDD to SSD.
So, you can search on the internet or consult your SSD manufacturers to see whether they provide such a tool.
If your SSD manufacturer doesn’t offer such a program or the provided software fails to work, you can employ MiniTool Partition Wizard, which is free for Windows non-server users, definitely including Windows 10 users.
