Generally speaking, if you want to transfer your OS to a different SSD, you have 3 ways to achieve that:

  • 1️⃣Use a disk cloning tool to move the operating system from one SSD to another.
  • 2️⃣Create a system image of the Windows PC and restore it to an SSD.
  • 3️⃣Download an ISO of your desired Windows operating system from Microsoft's official website and clean install it on a new SSD via Windows Media Creation Tool.

The second method is called universal restore. To this end, you need to create a system image backup on an external drive and recover it to another drive. It can help you install Windows on a hard drive without the OS, but it has many procedures.

Worse still, the third method requires you to download an ISO file and use the Media Creation Tool to install Windows, which is more complex than the second method.

Fortunately, you can use a cloning utility to help you transfer Windows to an SSD. Cloning is the easiest and most effective way to help you copy data from one hard drive to another without reinstalling Windows or losing data.

To this end, you need to use third-party disk cloning software like EaseUS Disk Copy because Windows has no in-built cloning functionality.

EaseUS disk cloning tool can help transfer your operating system from one SSD to another and migrate your OS from HDD to SSD or HDD to HDD. In addition, you can utilize it to clone a hard drive with bad sectors, resize your disk partition during cloning, and create a WinPE bootable disk.

To transfer your Windows to a different SSD, you need to use a third-party cloning tool like EaseUS Disk Copy.
