I bought a 1TB SSD and wanted to replace it with my old SSD, but how about my Windows and data on the old SSD? How to copy everything from one SSD to my larger SSD?
There are many ways to help you transfer everything from one SSD to another. For example, you can manually copy and paste data or use backup software to back data to another SSD.
However, if you want to transfer everything, including the OS, to another drive and use it as your boot drive, there is only one way left. It is called cloning.
Cloning can help you copy data from one hard drive to another without losing data and reinstalling Windows. And you can directly boot from the cloned hard drive without trouble.
However, you have to turn to third-party cloning software like Qiling Disk Copy. Such a tool can help you move everything from one drive to another without OS reinstallation.
It is a practical cloning tool designed for Windows PCs. It can help clone your system, disk, partition, etc., and migrate data from one computer to another. In addition, it can help you transfer your operating system from SSD to a new SSD and resize disk partition during cloning.
Here is the detailed procedure:
Step 1. Buy a new and larger SSD and a USB-to-SATA cable to connect the SSD to your computer.
Step 2. Backup data on your old SSD in case of data loss in the cloning process.
Step 3. Connect the USB-to-SATA adapter to your new SSD and plug the other end into your computer's USB ports.
Step 4. Download and install Qiling Disk Copy to start cloning.
