Hello :D I would like to move the C: drive with W10 and other data (total capacity 97.5 GB, occupied space 61.2 GB) to the SSD Adata SU800 128 GB so that it works on this Windows. The disk from which I want to transfer a total has a capacity of 500 GB and is divided into three disks: C :, D: and...

Windows cannot be copied and pasted onto a second disk to make it work. Installation remains from the beginning.

Can be. You make a copy, insert the ssd disk into the computer, restore the copy to the SSD disk, start the system from a new disk.

Copy and paste may not but you can take a partition / disk image to play it on another disk.

I found a guide with this program but one thing worries me. In 58 seconds of the film you are talking about the need to make a backup. But why ??? I would like to make sure that no data disappears from the C: drive and is just copied to the SSD.

You do it for this, because operations on disks / files are not always successful. It is better to be safe than sorry when you have deleted holiday photos.

Hello I recommend using Samsung software - Samsung Solid State Driver - one step install Navigator Manual & Software. It was attached to Samsung SSD 840 EVO drives. Moving the system using this software is very easy.

Well, I think I have a problem because I do not have disk space for backup. I will move the system without making copies, especially since I don't have important data there. I think that nothing should become serious if the program does not automatically delete the data from the C: drive. At most, something will be copied to the SSD. I'll take some risk Added after 1 [hours] 24 [minutes]: I copied the entire disk from C: to SSG G: and I don't know how to start W10 from this disk. After restart, the system probably turned on from the C: drive because in the file explorer there is a Windows icon next to C:

Have you changed the boot option in the bios? You have to choose there which disk to boot from. Just copying one partition may not be enough. Windows creates yet another boot partition that is responsible for booting.

How did you copy did you make a copy of the partition with the program I gave you? If you copy the disk as standard, there is no chance that it will work.

The AOMEI Partition Assistant Prof. program is used for this type of operation. Ed. There is an option Migrating OS from HDD to SSD, in which you will use the step by step wizard to transfer the system from the old disk to SSD.

Hello

I would like to move the C: drive with W10 and other data (total capacity 97.5 GB, occupied space 61.2 GB) to the SSD Adata SU800 128 GB so that it works on this Windows. The disk from which I want to transfer a total has a capacity of 500 GB and is divided into three disks: C :, D: and E: This is a HDD disk. What is the easiest way to do this? Any program, can you just use the copy / paste option ??? Second question: how to make Windows boot from SSD and not HDD.

I will add that there is rather no option to install the system from the scratch.
thanks for the answers

You make a copy, insert the ssd disk into the computer, restore the copy to the SSD disk, start the system from a new disk.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around transferring a Windows 10 installation from a HDD to an Adata SU800 128 GB SSD. Users emphasize that a simple copy/paste method is insufficient for moving the operating system. Recommended solutions include using disk imaging software such as EASEUS Todo Backup Free, AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional, and Clonezilla, which allow for proper migration of the OS. Users also highlight the importance of changing BIOS settings to boot from the SSD after the transfer. Concerns about data loss during the process lead to discussions about the necessity of backups, although some users express willingness to proceed without one due to lack of critical data.
