• i just used minitool version 10. So easy even a complete computer muppet like me can do it

• For some reason your file hangs my computer without running it. It is 100% likely is a malware. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT NOR INSTALL IT

• virus detected?

• Irritating background music and 2 minutes atop watching and hunt for another video which are peaceful. 😅

• Much love, brother. I've (finally) upgraded from a HDD to SSD. This worked without a hitch. A brilliant tutorial.

• A tutorial how to boot your cloned drive on your new device without losing your Windows license would be great as well.

• Doesn’t work

• On Windows 10 Pcs/laptops, you can go first externally connect the new external SSD through an enclosure via usb c or usb a depending on your laptop. And then you can go into your boot menu while restarting and use the support assist os recovery tool to clone your os and c drive to the new ssd 😁. This is mutch safer and you would not need restarts/ or additional third party applications. 🙂

• Not free anymore

• Thanks for the information, was a great help!

• It won't work for me

• Terrible. Cloned my new ssd drive using your recommendations and steps. I then swapped it and my pc recognized no windows on the new SSD. So i plugged old one back in and it forced me to restore my old drive to factory. 😡 thnks for nothing.

• dont need music

• how do i put the partions back onto my drive as its split into 3

• free if you already have these items.

• blah blah

• Thank you very much my friend its work for me im my old ssd to new one in my windows 11

• Thank you so much, this was super easy and it only took me 30 min! i have a desktop but it worked just the same

• This video helped me alot

• very informative and straight forward….😎

• Hey man, everytime I restart the pc when it says I should do it (during the cloning) it gives me an error, it tells me that disk configuration changed or something and that it cant continue. Any idea how to solve this?

• mate, this is such a great video!! very informative, great pacing, nice simple steps! I just subscribed! Great job, cheers mate!

• wow … out of many videos found this one handy. very excited for seeing machine boot under 5 sec compared with >1 min earlier. Both video steps and procuring hardware was easy. Upgraded my 10 year old (back then bought for 800$) nvidia graphic card + 4 core + i5 dell inspiron 15R N5110 512GB HDD w/ 1TB SSD ($45) ; also upgraded from 4GB RAM to 16GB (2x8GB) ($15). total cost for upgrade – $60 and boot time reduced from >1 min to <5 sec. 👍

• after trying to clone through reflectfree three times and an entire afternoon wasted, this worked on the first try, thank you!

• But can I clone my windows 10 to a different partition of the same nvme drive?

• Thanks for the very informative video! I have a question:
  
  what is better:
  
  1) to clone multiple operating systems to the same external HDD where I have backups of my documents (one separate partition for each OS and another separate partition for my backup)?
  
  2) Or is it better to clone my operating systems (I have 4 of them) to one HDD for each OS,
  
  3) or last option, to backup my documents to HDD #1 and to clone my OSes in one HDD #2 with as many partitions as OSes ?
  
  And if so, why?

• Is it possible to do this with an external hard drive to ssd? on mac? Thanks

• If the spftware it's free, why not downloading it from the official source?

• I'm following your instructions as explained – step by step. It gets to (40%) 7 of 15 Pending Operations, and throws up the message requiring to "Restart Now". I click restart and Partition Wizard restarts, BUT I get the message that "Partition Wizard detected your disc configuration has been changed" and can't conitnue.

  Just so you know – I'm trying to clone and INTERNAL 256G SSD to a new INTERNAL 512Gb SSD. Both drives are installed in the laptop.

  Please help!

  Many thanks

• Thank you for the video. I have a question, I went through the process and realised I have two slots for ssd. if I put both in, that are duplicates, is it easy to remove data from one of them?

• looks like they took out disk cloning since you made this video….

• great guide! thanks 🙂

• I am upgrading from a 690 gb hdd to 960 gb SSD 🎉

• I ran into an Automatic Repair on Windows 10 after the Migration was completed, Should I be worried?

• Will this work for Windows 8.1 as well?

• Mine says failed to write disk. Error: 55?

• Now I have Os (C:), ESP (E:) and unallocated 5.7 GB. So didn't work as expected…

• Hi when i tried kee error: 23 LBA Numbers keep coming any solution please

• You saved me

• product Key?

• I'm surpised that no one mentions that upon downloading the Migration Tool v10, Defender immediatelly recognizes it as a threat and puts it into the quarantine. Now I'm hesitating to move it out of it and execute it. Will probably search for an alternative before I proceed.

• im trying to transfer migrate from a 1tb to 500gb and it keep freezing in the partition wizard

• could someone help me
  it says failed to copy
