Clone HDD to SSD with ATIH 2017 possible??

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I want to clone my HDD (500 GB) system partition (Windows 10) to a new SSD (256 GB).

Do I have to expect severe problems?

Thankful for all hints!

Regards

Joern

Joern, there shouldn't be any severe problems in terms of using Acronis to migrate your Windows 10 OS from a HDD to a new SSD drive but I would recommend reading post: 128231: [IMPORTANT] CLONING - How NOT to do this!!! which will help you avoid the common pitfalls of using cloning.

Note: cloning operates at a whole drive level, not at a partition one, so if you are wanting to just move your Windows 10 OS to the SSD and leave other partitions, then you should be looking at using Backup & Recovery not cloning.  In this case, you would also need to ensure that any other required partitions needed for Windows to boot are migrated, i.e. EFI partition / System Reserved partition.
