Migrating Windows 10 OS partition to SSD
So I just installed a new MX300 M2 275GB SSD into my Acer nitro 791g laptop and formatted as GPT. I want to migrate/clone my OS partition to the SSD, and wipe the C partition on the old HDD. The first 3 partitions are system reserved I believe with the 3rd being the recovery partition the laptop came with (Windows 8) and I'd like to delete or preferably replace it with my own recovery image.
I have a few concerns though like what program to use, and how to avoid any errors on bootup (also the consequences of formatting C drive without cleaning the MBR etc). Also, would you recommend I merge the C drive with D or leave it be on its own? Since that would create fragmentation (files would present starting 214gb mark if I merge before it I guess?).
Thanks.
