    I warmly welcome,
    I am asking for tips on how to solve my problem.
    I bought a Good Ram SSD and wanted to clone Win.8
    For this purpose, I installed the EaseUS Todo Backup Free program and followed the guidelines I found on YouTube.
    At the end I received a message that I can not migrate the system because the system is some GPT and the SSD drive is MBR.
    Ladies and gentlemen, I can not clone this program unless I buy an extended version for 44baks.

    I am asking for tips on how to deal with this problem.

    Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

    You can get a little bit tired of migrating the system from the GPT to MBR standard. It's easier to format an SSD disk on GPT using a program such as Diskpart

    I have a question if formatting this disk on GPT will not hurt?
    Well, how to stretch this disc cheap was not and I did not want to damage it or shorten its life.
    I was a bit disappointed with the goodram company: / It has good reviews but I did not expect such a problem .. maybe my fault is that I did not ask the seller what type of disk, but the software for such a migration should be.

    And what does the SSD disk manufacturer have for the sibling partition? You set the partition type yourself, and is Goodram to blame? Weird. You also have not bought the software and you think it should be, why?
    GPT does not bother you at all, did you read the link above?

    What is supposed to harm formatting?

    What are you saying nonsense, what kind of software would the producers add to the disks. Perhaps the best disc with the operating system, no disc manufacturer does not add software to the disk.

    As you started to "combine like a horse uphill", it's no wonder that you motivate and tire.
    There was a copy of the files and programs from the old disk, plug in the new SSD, install the system from the DVD and everything.

    Well ok, I understand that I harm myself: /

    Well, I do not have a system on the board, I have a recovery disc which I did as a computer for the first time I launched. Now this recovery tile tells you that the disk is too small: /

    Gentlemen, does it somehow fix it formatting this ssd drive from the windows position

    Then make yourself copies of the necessary files, do it update to Win10 , copy the license files and Win10 serial number.
    Mount the SSD, download the Win10 image and install it freshly (do not enter the key during installation), then copy the license files and you have the Win10 system activated.

    And I thought that no longer a free upgrade is not possible: 0
    I have a question about how to copy license files, where are they?

    Thanks to Atomic99

    It is, but provided you have Windows 8, or 7 ...
    A copy of the license is unnecessary. You simply install the system without a key and wsio. The system autmatically activates, and if it does not happen then you call Microsoft technical support, you say that you have made an update to Windows 10 and the system does not want to activate and the consultant with whom you will be connected will take care of the rest. Really, very friendly and helpful people work there. They will not bite when you call the problem. I have often contacted them with various problems, and no employee with whom I was connected ever left me on the ice and even encouraged me to contact them again if their advice did not help.

    @ Piotr160292 Why did you write it? Since the author of the topic even in # 1 wrote that he has Win8. And whether it is Win8 or Win8.1, it does not matter.

    Hello, gentlemen, ladies, the problem has been solved.
    It turned out that the best way would be to format the SSD drive from the Windows panel, select> disk management> then the mouse pointer moves to the given partition where the icon and right click, choose convert to MBR on GPT
    And I made the migration according to the instructions on YouTube, which is presented by ForumWiedzy.pl
    Thank you all for participating in helping me solve the problem.
