OS to SSD?
OS to SSD?
Initially, I didn’t understand partitioning when I first set up my PC and installed Windows. Now, everything is on the same drive as the operating system, which makes moving the OS to a 120 GB Sandisk SSD challenging. I tried separating it but ended up with a disorganized mess. Could someone with experience guide me through this process? Thank you!
Sure, I’ll walk you through it step by step. I’ll describe the process clearly so you can understand what happened.
I created a bootable USB from the link provided. *Please back up any crucial information on the SSD before proceeding!* After installing Windows via the tool, I simply clicked next and chose the correct drive. I removed unnecessary files from the old drive and everything worked fine. Make sure you’re using a Windows account, if you need further assistance.
I created a backup on an external hard drive. Should it succeed? Yes, it should. Would using a bigger thumb drive help? It might improve reliability. If you manage to build a USB tool, how would you handle the existing Windows version on your computer? Please let me know if you need more details.
Which Windows version are you running? A 4+GB USB drive should suffice, and your backup is acceptable.
