Using mini tool partition wizard to migrate from HDD to SSD

I notice there is a migrate OS to SSD option in Mini tool partition wizard.

What I want to do is to move only the System and C partition ( which contain Windows 10 and programs ) to the SSD. The HDD capacity is 1 TB vs 500GB for the SSD

The HDD is partitioned into System ( 128mb ) , C ( where OS resides is approx 108GB) , F G etc
System + C is less than 110GB.

If I elect to chose the Move OS to another disk and keep the original HDD option ,
Will Minitool partition wizard only copy system and C over to the SSD ?

What sort of disk is it as if it's eufi you will need that partition as well

If you choose to migrate OS only, it will only copy system and C:.

Macrium Reflect Free would be my choice for doing this. I would image the partitions then recover them to your target drive. To create a bootable drive select the option "Create an image of the partitions required to backup and restore Windows".

Good idea . I would image the UEFI , C partition then recover. THis is probably easier than cloning the UEFI and C drive to SSD and maybe have to fix boot issue.

You might want to also include the recovery partition to avoid the need to use an installation USB drive if you want to access the recovery features.

Hi there

another option is KYHI's Disk -- it has a built in partition manager which does the whole job for you simply, easily and in "Idiot mode" --i.e specify, go away for a coffee, beer, whisky or whatever, come back after say 20 mins (depends on sizes of disks and speed of hardware) and whole job is done - just specify source and target disks and any re-sizing.

In one of the menus it says clone OS to SSD - can't show image as I'm on a Linux OS currently.
