All this will be happening to the new SSD which is still in its external USB enclosure.
I think I may then need to use another partitioning programme or utility to do it.
I don't think this can be achieved in the cloning process, and Space from the now-large C: partition and create a further partition on the target, perhaps to use for pagefiles, temp files and so forth. The new SSD being larger, I will need to increase the size of the C: partition on it, which I understand can be done as part of the cloning process. This should behave as if the 2 SSDs are in the machine and being cloned there. Clone with Macrium the existing installed SSD drive, including various "hidden" partitions, to the larger new SSD which will be in a USB external enclosure. People usually clone hard drives when they need to switch from a hard drive (Hard Disk Drive /HDD) to a larger or a significantly faster SSD (Solid State Drive).I intend to upgrade this machine's C: system drive SSD with a larger one. After a successful migration, a computer with a bootable hard drive including Windows can be booted up and used in its original state immediately.Īs well as extensive quantities of data, you can also transfer an entire operating system. Important user data and tools for everyday work, like email programs and painstakingly built bookmark lists, are available straight away. In addition, not only programs, but also individual user-specific settings and adjustments of programs are automatically adopted. Some users also clone hard drives to back up data because they want to be able to quickly fall back on a ready-to-use complete solution with a functioning operating system in the event of a virus attack, for example. It’s a good idea to create a cloned replacement data medium for emergencies at longer intervals. For daily backups, it’s better to back up your drive using an image file. It stores the data in a compressed form and can also be integrated into backup strategies, such as incremental and differential backups, and it saves storage space. When cloning a hard drive, there are certain technical requirements that must be met. The new hard drive should have as much, or more, memory than the old medium.
If a notebook hard drive is being transferred to a new SSD, you will need an external hard drive enclosure or an SATA-to-USB cable. There are also affordable docking stations that you can plug an SSD into and then connect it to the computer by USB. If the target SSD is already built into a stationary PC, external connections are not required.Ī simple hard drive clone with user data can be created quickly and there usually no problems if suitable software is used. If a system is to be cloned, it’s a little more complicated. After the transfer, you must make sure that the new data medium is bootable and recognised when booting.
