[@benjidaniel5595]

There is one detail that you didn't mention. That the partition software recreates each partition from the original hdd as normal (non-hidden) partition. I followed these steps and now I have these extra drives in Windows Explorer for partitions that were previously hidden (e.g. recovery drive, etc). I rewatched your video and saw you had the same result but glossed right over the fact.

[@Huephoric]

Did you find any fix for it?

[@miut1983]

Use MiniTool Partition Wizard and change drive letter to none on partition that you want to hide.

[@YeahNoyeah]

You created a problem where there is none? By default it does that it doesn’t matter whether it shows or not it still stays partitioned 💀

[@SirDanforth]

The version of the software in this video is 10.3. The current version of the software is 12.6, and it looks like they moved the migration options to the paid version of the software. There's probably a number of similar software options out there, I tried one called AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard 9.5.0, and using the "Clone Disk" feature seemed to do the same things in this video (keeping the partitions from the original drive, expanding the main one to fill the drive). There is another Clone OS to Drive feature that seemed to work differently, didn't test that one. Just skipped all of the stuff asking you to purchase. Note: This is just my experience, not intended to be a guide. I was migrating from an old garbage HD to a bigger SSD. For the Disk Clone Wizard, selected the Quick option. Next selected the Source drive, then the Destination drive (there's a check box to optimize the performance if the destination drive is an SSD - no idea what this is, just checked it), then selected the Clone option "Fit partitions to entire disk". Next were some words about after the migration. Clicked "Finish", then "Apply" in the top left. It gave an estimated time, clicked Proceed. On the next screen I just kept it as "Restart in Windows PE mode". After restarting, I received a warning that the disks differ. I selected Cancel to stay in the Windows PE Environment (the first time I listened to it and had it reboot into the Pre-boot whatever mode, but it just errored out saying it didn't have any instructions and rebooted back into normal Windows). In the Windows PE Environment the AOPMEI software started, and I just selected all of the options again. After proceeding through it all, it started the disk transfer. Seems like the estimated time was pretty close. Once it was done, received a "Congratulation" message, and didn't really know what to do from there so I closed the application and the computer automatically went into Startup Repair. Skipped the nonsense and just had it shut down, and swapped the drives. There was a little bit more nonsense where it booted back into the Startup Repair (didn't even need to go into the BIOS) but after another shut down/restart I was back in business and everything was working.

[@0me3s]

This is exactly what I needed to check with before I did it. Thank you.

[@charlesikediashi4561]

a key point every one of these videos have not put in is if your laptop fails to boot from your new SSD - ensure you go back to the program partition wizard - >> click on the new ssd disk -> Redbuild MBR (on new disk) ->> Apply. After that the boot up sequence worked - nobody else has put this on their videos - I found it on a forum

[@bryanguerrero6213]

When I get to the screen at minute ‘4:45’ of the video, it says there is not enough space to fit on the new disk, even though there is 448gb unused space. The “next” button is no selectable. Neither option lets me select “next”.

[@Spekplant]

Amazing video and very professionally done, thank you very much. Unfortunately it seems that the MiniTool Partition Wizard wont allow you to clone a SSD for free anymore, real pity. I tried and at 13:09, where you have to choose between A or B and click Next>, you are diverted to a webpage where you have to buy the Pro version. It's fair i guess, I am a one time user so I will search for an open source app.. Thanks again for the very professional tutorial.

[@Zee_tr]

did you manage to find another solution if so how? im currently stuck on how to move windows to my kingston ssd but not sure how?

daniel Jimenez if you keep old hard drive hooked up to motherboard you’d then have to go to bios change boot priority then reboot it’ll allow you to format old drive as it will be now running on new drive hope this helps!

[@Ageratos01]

This may sound silly my old HDD is 1tb and only has 370gb filled. I have a 128ssd lying around and I only want to migrate windows only and the application says my ssd is too small? I didn't think windows on its own is over 128gb.. I just want to know if I am doing something wrong?

[@ebrahimkakhi8836]

In that case use the window backup utility, which backs up your windows and essential files only to a recovery image

[@Unavalivle]

So just to be clear; - I can choose to only move the OS to the new ssd from the "Minitool Partition Wizard"? - My PC will automatically choose to boot from the new drive without me having to change anything in my bios settings? Thanks for this super helpful and informative video

[@scottadams1119]

Yes. Once the application has completed you should be able to shut down your computer, remove the old drive and replace it with your new/cloned drive and it should boot up exactly as before. 👍

[@kurtr1181]

VIEWERS: If the laptop doesn't recognize the SSD attached to your USB, dont panic. You just need to initialize it in Disk Mannagement first. That includes formatting, assigning a drive letter, etc.

Hi, I have a few questions: 1. If I change my HDD to a SSD and migrate via cable and the migration freeware do I keep all my files and installed applications after the change (e.g. MS Office will still be there), or do I need reinstall those apps again? 2. Do you know, if I have two partitions on my computer, will the migration tool copy both or will it only copy the C drive (of my operating system). My question is, actually, how to make sure that both partitions are copied from the old HDD to the new SSD? Thanks.
