Hi, did you clean install Win 10 on the SSD using a Win 10 boot disk to boot your PC?

If you wanted your SSD installation to look like your old one, you would have had to 'clone' your HDD installation to your SSD.

I put 'clone' in '' because a clone is an exact copy, but it is also used commonly in this case where copying and resizing, assuming your SSD is smaller than your HDD.

If you wish to do that, you can use a tool such as Macrium Reflect (free) - there are guides on Youtube, for example, and in MR's documentation.

I did not clone it thanks for letting me know :) ill try to do that thank you !

My old hdd is around the 830 GB and the ssd is 415 GB is it possible to clone it if theres less space in the ssd?

Clone no, but Macrium can also make an image of the partitions required for Windows and resize them on restore to fit a smaller drive - provided of course that the used space on the old drive will fit.
