Step 2: Install MiniTool Partition Wizard. You choose Next all and wait for the machine to run for a while.

After the machine is running, select Finish to complete the installation.

Step 3: After the installation is complete, start the application and select Migrate OS to SSD / HD.

Step 4: There will appear 2 options for you:

• Option 1: Move Windows and data from other drives to the new hard drive.
• Option 2: Move Windows to new hard drive only.

Since the data we usually store in the HDD because the drive has a large capacity, while the SSD drive allows Windows to boot faster and smoother, you can choose option 2 if your SSD drive is small.

Step 5: Select the name of the SSD drive you want to move Windows to and ensure the most stable power possible.

Step 6: Note that all data in the drive will be formatted before transferring Win. Make sure you do not leave any important files in that SSD.

Note: Under Copy Options> Choose Fit partitions to entire disk. Click Apply in the bottom corner of the application and wait for the transfer of Win to another drive.

Step 7: After you have finished transferring Win to a new drive, open the Run dialog box by pressing Windows + R> Enter msconfig.

Boot tab> Select the SSD drive containing Win> Click 'Set as default'> Apply.

That's it, restart the computer to experience the Windows boot speed and SSD's smoothness. If you find the article useful and useful, please leave a like for yourself. Thank you very much for viewing the article.
