Clone my D and E HDD drive on to a SSD

Clone my D and E HDD drive on to a SSD

hello all

I’m using ACRONIS True Image 2020 for the first time, I was able to clone a laptop 1TB HDD to a SSD and use it in my laptop with no problem.

I have tried this with both the within Windows and the acronis bootable media.

My system was built by me and I am trying to clone a 1TB hard drive to a 1 TB SSD that should speed up my system, this drive does not have the system OS on it, it has most of the the other programs on it.

The system is a ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0MB, 8350 FX CPU, 32 GB memory. The C drive has my OS, WIN 10 PRO ver 1909 and some of the programs on it. The C drive is a Kingston 240 GB SSD, the drive I’m trying to clone is the D and E drive, which is a seagate 1TB HDD drive. The drive I’m cloning to is a samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSD. I have tried all of the manual ways that I know of to change the drive letters on the cloned drive to D and E, the program only gives me the option of G and H and up of a selection, what am I doing wrong? I have read a lot of the forum

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Juan, welcome to these public User Forums.

When you are cloning from an internal HDD to an external drive, then the internal drive will still have the assigned drive letters (D: & E:) and the external drive will be given other drive letters that are free (G: & H).  This is normal.

Once you have completed the clone, then you need to remove the internal HDD drive and replace it by the cloned external SSD drive.

Then when you reboot the computer, the SSD should have the correct D: & E: drive letters.  The original HDD should be left disconnected.

Juan, it is unclear from your post how the old Seagate HDD and the new 1TB SSD are installed (before and after the copy) and how you did the clone operation. Can you please elaborate.
