After dealing with a family Dell laptop that hates most boot USBs, I found that Crucial and a few other brands provide software to clone any drive for free if the software detects a drive from that brand on the computer. I was able to clone the OS to a new NVMe drive by having a crucial SSD in a SATA dock (that Crucial drive is for my tower). In the future, I'll pick the the brand with cloning software over a slightly cheaper competitor. (Crucial was the brand that saved me this week).

Best Windows drive clone tutorial! 🙌 Only thing missing is some troubleshooting, which I get is hard if you don't run into problems :P Upon booting Rescuezilla I was getting a "SGX disabled by BIOS" error, followed by another error that quickly disappeared and just stalled on a black screen. I was able to change the setting for SGX in my BIOS and tried again, and I got the same error, but then it actually worked as expected strangely enough. However, I read that SGX is primarily something for watching 4k blueray and has some security flaws so it's best to disable it again if you don't need it after finishing the data transfer.

The video was perfect timing but I watched both videos and decided to use your first method. Looked a lot easier. I did it with the minitool version 10 (the current version is 12 I think, I downloaded the older version from 2017) And it worked no problem. Btw I also tried using this method twice first. Both times I fried my USB flash after flashing the rescuzilla app on them. It kept giving the error “you have to format the drive before using it” But maybe I made a mistake (altho I followed ur video) So idk.
@Cheese_Bean Жыл бұрын
I got the same error but the flash drive still worked for booting into rescuezilla even though windows couldn't recognize it. I don't want to give a direct link, but etcher has an official blog post about this that should be the first result if you google "etcher broke my usb stick". You can use the instructions to format and keep using those flash drives if you haven't thrown them out already. It only takes a couple minutes.

Hey! Just wanted to drop a quick note to say how much I appreciated your help for this tedious process of migrate the OS and all of the system drive to a new faster NVMe drive: thanks a lot!! I must say that I tried with other 3rd party software (Minitool wizard, Macrium, EaseUS...) but all of them are now paywalled. Your solution with Rescuezilla worked just fine! I have to add, so that everyone can learn from my mistake: after migrating a first time, I then made the mistake to re-plug-in the old C: drive, which caused the BIOS to use it again as Boot Manager. This cost me to wipe the cloned NVMe drive to have it fresh, and start the whole procedure again. I removed (not just unplugged, but like physically ahaha) the old drive and Win10 booted just fine on the cloned NVMe! For another day, I might try to plug the old drive (a Crucial 256gb SATA SSD) once Windows has booted on the NVMe, so I can clean the old drive for new purposes. Apparently you can plus SATA drives while the PC is powered on (not just when shut down)? Anyway, thank you infinitely for this detailed tutorial, it was so immensely useful!! Cheers
Hey umm so I did the steps for the smaller to bigger one and I followed till we got to shut down the PC. When I turned it back on, I switched the boot order in BIOS and saved and booted. It shows me a PC Needs To Be Repaired screen. Does anyone know how to fix this? 😢
