Part 1. Migrate OS, Programs, and Data to Crucial SSD by Cloning

As soon as you launch EaseUS Disk Copy software, you'll easily find the "Clone" option on the main window. That's the feature you're going to use to migrate everything you need to a Crucial SSD. The disk clone will transfer all data (including the operating system and program) from the selected hard disk to another. It is especially useful when you want to replace the hard disk with a new one. For a successful disk clone, ensure that the capacity of the destination disk is larger than the space used for the source disk. 

Before getting started, there are some tips you should read carefully.

1. 1. If the source disk contains the system partition, please shut down the computer after the clone.
2. 2. To remove either the source disk or destination disk from the computer to make the computer boot normally if the source disk contains a boot partition.
3. 3. If you want to boot from the destination disk, we recommend you to replace the source disk with the destination disk.
4. 4. If the computer fails to boot from the destination disk after the clone, we suggest you clone the source disk to another disk with the same HDD interface.
5. 5. If you choose to clone a hidden partition, the cloned one will be unhidden.

Follow the steps to clone HDD/SSD to Crucial SSD with the best Crucial SSD migration software:

Prior Notice:

• The "Sector by sector copy" asks the size of your destination disk to be at least equal to or larger than that of the source disk. Leave this feature unchecked if you wish to clone a larger hard disk to a smaller hard disk.
• All data on the destination disk will be completely erased, so take care.

Step 1. To start copying/cloning an entire disk to another, choose this disk as the source disk under "Disk Mode" and click "Next".

Step 2. Choose the other disk as the destination disk.

Step 3. Check the disk layout of the two disks. You can manage the disk layout of the destination disk by selecting "Autofit the disk", "Copy as the source" or "Edit disk layout". 

• "Autofit the disk" makes some changes by default on the destination disk layout so that it can work at its best status.
• "Copy as the source"does not change anything on destination disk and the layout is the same as source disk.
• "Edit disk layout" allows you to manually resize/move partition layout on this destination disk.

Tick the "Check the option if the target is SSD" option to put your SSD in its best performance.

A message now appears, warning you that data will be lost. Please confirm this message by clicking "OK" and then click "Next".
