Hi again,
I just had to wait for 3 hours then it worked out. But I have a new problem. What is all the files you need to clone to run Windows properly? Is it just the "Windows" folder in my source disk?
When I tried booting (in BIOS) on my SSD (wich I had cloned the "Windows" file to) it said Windows was not insalled properly.
I can still boot on my source hard disk offcourse.

Edvin, sorry but cloning is intended to work on an entire disk drive basis, not just selected folders. You cannot just copy the Windows folder from one drive to another and expect it to work, there are many other files & folders that are needed / required by Windows, plus also you need the hidden System Reserved or EFI Partition to enable the SSD to boot correctly.

So how how do I get Windows on my new ssd then? Do I have to buy windows 10 again. Don't really have that money.

Edvin, how about providing some more information for us to work with?
What size is your source hard disk, how much of this is used space, what version of Windows OS, what type of BIOS?
What size is your new Crucial SSD drive? Are both your source drive and the SSD both SATA drives?

My source hard disk is 930GB, space used is 778GB
Windows 10 Home,Version: 1703, OS Build: 15063.296, BIOS type: Gigabyte UEFI DualBIOS, BIOS version: F9
My new Crucial SSD drive is 488GB, Both are SATA drives.
Need more information?

Edwin, sorry but there is no way that you can clone 778GB of data from your source HDD to fit this into a 488GB SSD drive.
Is all the 778GB of the source drive in one partition, and how much of this is pure user data, i.e. documents, photos, videos etc?
If you can reduce the source drive used data size to around 400GB then you could do a backup of that data and restore it to your SSD drive. You need to allow between 10% and 20% of free space on the SSD unless you want the performance to be worse that the original HDD was.

Edvin, please see KB 1540: Difference between Backup and Disk Clone which should help answer your question and has a video tutorial of the process involved.
