SSD drives are becoming more and more popular. This is due to an increase in their reliability, a decrease in cost and an improvement in the characteristics that they possess. Therefore it is great for installation operating system. But in order not to reinstall it again, you can transfer Windows 10 from HDD to SSD, saving all the data.

Why transfer?

If you decide to use an SSD as a drive to store data (photos, video or audio files), it's a moot point since these devices have a limited overwrite limit. Active use will very quickly destroy it, unlike the HDD, which has been serving me for over 10 years and is still in excellent condition. But it has an interface SATA connections II, small buffer volume and low time response. Therefore, it was decided to purchase a solid-state drive to transfer Windows 10 to it.

SSD drives are great for OS installation because they have the following advantages:

• high read/write speed;
• silent operation;
• low level of heat generation.

In addition, Windows is “static files” that do not require constant rewriting, but only reading. Therefore, if you install the OS on a solid-state drive, this will speed up its operation several times and at the same time the resource of the device itself will be used very slowly.

Another reason why I decided to install an SSD in my PC was participation in the insider program.

Microsoft releases new build for Fast Ring approximately once a week. It took about 1-1.5 hours to install it on an old HDD. If you add time to this Windows startup- about 1.5-2 minutes, it becomes clear that the solution has long been obvious.

SSD selection

Details on how to choose an SSD disk for a computer are described in the article “”. In my case, three parameters were priority:

• number of rewrite cycles before failure;
• memory type;
• manufacturer.

Regarding capacity, if you are only going to use the SSD for Windows installations 10, choose models from 120 GB and more.

Why shouldn't you buy 64 GB drives?

There are several reasons.

1. For stable and normal SSD operation- the disk on it should remain up to 20% free space of the total volume. If you use a 64 GB model (in fact, its volume will be slightly smaller - 58-60 GB), only 40-45 GB will be available for active use. Microsoft's recommendations for free disk space for Windows 10 are 16 GB for 32-bit and 20 GB for 64-bit OS. And this is already half of the specified space.
2. After installing a new build or Windows updates 10 on system disk a copy of the old OS remains, which is used during recovery. This is an additional 15-20 GB.
3. In addition to the browser and audio and video players, the average user uses various programs and utilities. Installing them also requires quite a lot of space (for me it’s about 8 GB). For a gamer or person involved in video processing, you will need even more free space on the system disk.

Therefore, in modern conditions, the minimum size of the SSD drive that is used in the device to install the OS is 120 GB.

Connection and setup

The transfer process will be shown using a solid state drive as an example.

1. Turn off the computer → disconnect it from the network by unplugging the plug from the socket → press and hold the PC power button for 4 seconds (this will completely cut off the power to the device).
2. Open the case and install the SSD. The new buildings have compartments for SSD installation in a 2.5-inch form factor. Older models do not have them, so you can use a special adapter frame.
   
3. Connect power and SATA cable to the SSD → close the case.
4. Turn on your computer → enter BIOS → set the AHCI SSD mode → save changes and launch Windows 10.
   
5. RMB on the Start menu → Disk Management.
   

   Important! The table at the bottom of the window will display the connected SSD drive. It will be marked in black and labeled “Not distributed.”

   
   
6. RMB on SSD → Create simple volume → Next.
   
7. Set the maximum simple volume size → Next.
   
8. Select the volume letter → Next.
   
9. Set the radio button to “Format this volume as follows” → leave all default values ​​→ Next → Finish.
   

After this, Explorer will display new disk under the letter that you set in the settings.

Transferring Windows 10

To transfer Windows 10 to a solid-state drive, we used a program that has a wide range of functions. The choice fell on it due to the fact that the SSD included a key for free activation. However, the program is paid, so it is not suitable for everyone.

There are other programs (paid and free) that can be used to transfer (clone/copy) a Windows partition to another drive:

• Seagate DiscWizard (works if the device has a Seagate drive installed);
• Samsung Data Migration (designed to work with Samsung solid-state drives);
• Macrium Reflect demon paid program for cloning the entire disk or its individual parts, which has an English interface;
• Paragon Drive Copy is a paid program that has wide functionality.

The interface of all programs is different, but the operating algorithm is the same: they transfer data from one disk to another while maintaining all settings. There is no need to study instructions for their operation - everything is done so that the user intuitively understands what he is doing.

1. Run the program Acronis True Image → Tools section → Clone disk.
   
2. Select the cloning mode: automatic or manual.
   

   Good to know! In order not to worry that you will do something wrong, select the “automatic” mode and the program itself will transfer all the data from one disk to another. In this case, the SSD drive must be no less than the amount of data stored on the HDD. To configure transfer settings, select the “manual” setting.

   I chose the "manual" cloning mode to transfer only the OS.
   

3. Specify the source disk from which data will be cloned.
   
4. Specify the drive to transfer information to.
   
5. Exclude files that do not need to be cloned to the SSD. To transfer only the OS disk, check the boxes for files on other disks to exclude.
   
   

   Important! The process of calculating information can take a long time (about 15-20 minutes).

6. Change the disk structure if necessary. In my case, it was left unchanged.
   
7. Review all source data → Proceed.
   

After completing the preliminary operations, the program will ask you to restart your computer. Then, instead of starting the OS, the Acronis True Image program window will open and display the cloning process. Wait until the operation is completed and then the computer turns off.

Selecting the primary drive in BIOS

Setting up the OS after the transfer

More details on how to configure an SSD disk after installation on a computer are described in the article “”. In general, you need to check the following parameters:

• whether the TRIM function is enabled;
• Is disk defragmentation disabled (it is not needed due to the way solid-state drives operate);
• Is file indexing disabled?

As for the hibernation file, many advise disabling it in order to reduce the amount of information written to the SSD disk to extend its “life.” I didn’t turn it off because I often use this mode at work. But you can do as you see fit.

Please note that due to the settings that I specified during cloning, disks will be created on the solid-state drive, as was the case on the HDD. You can merge them in the Disk Management utility.

1. RMB on the Start menu → Disk Management → select SSD drive.
2. RMB on an empty disk on a solid-state drive → Format.
   
3. RMB on this disk → Delete volume → Yes.
   
4. RMB on this disk → Delete partition → Yes.
   

Remove Windows files 10 placed on the HDD by formatting this disk. This will eliminate confusion in the future and free up space for storing files.

Results

In addition, in the Winaero WEI tool, which calculates OS performance (similar to how the system score is determined in Windows 7), the “Primary Hard Drive” indicator increased from 5.6 to 7.95. (you can find out how else to determine OS performance in the article “Determining and increasing performance Windows computer 10 “Pleasant” surprises

The warranty period is 3 years with a total number of written bytes of 113 TB. The volume is quite large. BUT!

Every day, much more information is written to disk than it might seem. This is service information, wear leveling algorithms. Thanks to them, the same SSD memory blocks are not constantly rewritten. Periodically, unused (or rarely used) files are moved to areas of the drive that are actively used. The free space that appears after redistribution is then used to record new information. This cyclical process which happens all the time.

As a result, in the worst case, 1 GB of useful data accounts for 1.5 GB of recorded information. Plus data cache in browsers and other information. As a result, on average, about 15 GB of information is recorded on my SSD every day. But even with such indicators, the resource of the solid-state drive will last approximately 15-18 years.

For people who actively write/erase data, this figure will be significantly lower. But even in this case, the relevance of the purchased SSD drive model will disappear faster before it fails. So stop believing the myth that SSDs are unreliable! In modern conditions, they are the best choice for installing Windows 10.

Solid state drive technology allows you to significantly speed up the loading of various programs. Therefore, migrating Windows 10 to SSD is a priority for all users.

Benefits of using an SSD

1. The SSD drive uses flash memory as a resource for storing information, in contrast to the rotating pancakes of the standard hard drive. Because of this, the loading of the necessary information is reduced by 6–7 times. The mechanism for using SSD Mini Tweaker allows you to further increase the speed of operation, removing excess load from your computer. The device works stably with both large fragments and arrays of small files. The total boot time for Windows 10 is reduced to 10 seconds, which is significantly higher than when using an HDD (1 minute or more).
2. To address the impact of the write cycle limit in the architecture modern computers use a hybrid disk interaction scheme. At the same time, important programs, such as the tenth operating system, and the most frequently launched applications are located on the SSD drive. The rest of the library of repeatedly rewritable files is located on the HDD.
3. When using an SSD under Windows 10, a separate maintenance functionality is provided. The system does not apply defragmentation to the SSD. Read-ahead techniques are blocked, extending the life of the device. The SSD Mini Tweaker program is suitable for optimizing performance.

Selecting an option to transfer Windows to disk

There are two options for installing Windows 10 on a solid state drive. You can either spend full installation to disk, or clone the operating system image using a third-party program. In the first case, you need to do the following steps:

• connect the solid-state drive to the motherboard via a connector;
• insert installation disk with Windows or bootable USB flash drive to the appropriate medium;
• select in BIOS priority downloads from this media;
• install Windows using the installation wizard on the corresponding SSD volume label;
• Set priority startup from the drive in the BIOS.

Much more in a simple way will transfer Windows 10 to SSD using a specialized program. In this case, all system settings will be saved. There will be no need to reconnect or configure anything.

After cloning, it is advisable to run SSD Mini Tweaker to optimal performance OS.

To implement the copying mechanism, you first need to select a program. The following options have worked well:

1. Acronis WD Edition is suitable for brand drives Western Digital. The application is free and can be installed from the official website of the disk manufacturer. After installation, you need to go to the “Cloning” section and run the “Disk Clone Wizard”. The transfer process will begin, after which the target disk will become bootable.
2. Seagate DW full copy previous program, but for Seagate drives.
3. Samsung DM allows you to install the OS on a Samsung SSD. Works using the installation wizard. Allows both full and partial data transfer.
4. Minitool PW is one of the best solutions for transfer to a solid state drive. The program is completely free, the copying process is loaded not inside the running OS, but using an image that is written to a flash drive. This avoids various restrictions imposed by Windows.
5. Macrium Reflect clones the installed OS, regardless of the brand of the disk. The program settings functionality allows you to create boot disks and recovery images.

An SSD drive needs to limit the number of rewrite cycles for long-term operation. Therefore, installing Windows 10 on an SSD requires disabling services designed to maintain the hard drive. Such processes include:

1. File indexing assigns sequence numbers to files by overwriting. Its functionality is redundant and harms the SSD. Disabling occurs in the “Properties” section of a specific disk.
2. The search service creates file numbering. To disable it, you need to turn off Windows Search in the Services section.
3. Hibernation creates a disk image when the computer is turned off, writing it to the SSD. To disable it, enter “powercfg -h off” at the command line.
4. Prefetch and Superfetch load information about possible future program downloads into memory in advance, trying to predict user actions and speed up their download. Disabling is done through the registry editor, which is activated by the “regedit” command on the command line. In the window that opens, you need to find the Memory Management section and set these services to “0”.
5. Defragmentation organizes the recorded clusters, which is only relevant for HDD drives. For SSD, you need to disable it, since it has the same access time to all clusters. Deactivation is carried out by disabling the schedule chart in the "Disk Optimization" window of this service.

You can also add to the above measures the use of the automated SSD Mini Tweaker utility.

It independently stops redundant processes that the user previously selected from the list when loading.

If you have a Windows 10 computer with a valid license key, and you want to install the same license on another computer running Windows control 10, then you can do it with the help of this guide. You can transfer your Windows 10 license to another PC. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

1. If you purchased license key with box or key Windows product 10, you can transfer it to another computer. Your Windows 10 must be a retail copy. Buying a key in retail tied to a person.
2. If you purchased a laptop or desktop computer and the operating system Windows system 10 comes pre-installed (OEM), you cannot transfer this license to another PC running Windows 10. The OEM locator is tied to the PC hardware. You must understand that keys that are sold on the Internet for 1,000 - 2,000 rubles. - These are OEM left keys.

Transferring a Windows 10 license to another computer

Step 1. The first thing you need to do is delete current license with existing computer and only then install it on another. To do this, open command line as administrator and enter the command slmgr.vbs /upk. Next, you will see a window with a message that Product key deleted successfully.

Step 2: Now install Windows 10 on another computer and make sure that when installing the system, you select "I don't have a product key" when it asked you to enter a valid product key. In simple words, install Windows 10 without entering a product key. After installing Windows 10, open a command prompt as an administrator and enter the following command slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx, where xxxx is your Windows 10 retail product license key.

An SSD solid-state drive differs in its properties and method of operation from hard HDD disk, but the process of installing Windows 10 on it will not be much different; there is a noticeable difference only in preparing the computer.

Preparing the disk and computer for installation

Holders SSD drives know that in previous versions For the OS to work correctly, long-lasting and fully functional, it was necessary to change the system settings manually: disable defragmentation, some functions, hibernation, built-in antiviruses, the paging file and change a few other parameters. But in Windows 10, the developers took these shortcomings into account; the system now performs all disk settings itself.

You especially need to focus on defragmentation: before, it greatly harmed the disk, but in the new OS it works differently, not harming the SSD, but optimizing it, so you should not disable automatic defragmentation. It's the same with other functions - in Windows 10 you don't need to configure the system's work with the disk manually, everything is already done for you.

The only thing is that when dividing a disk into partitions, it is recommended to leave 10–15% of its total volume as unallocated space. This will not increase its performance, the recording speed will remain the same, but the service life may be slightly extended. But remember, most likely, the disk will last longer than you need even without additional settings. You can free up free interest both during the installation of Windows 10 (we will focus on this during the process in the instructions below), and after it using system utilities or third party programs.

Preliminary PC setup

In order to install Windows on an SSD drive, you need to switch the computer to AHCI mode and make sure that the motherboard supports the SATA 3.0 interface. Information about whether SATA 3.0 is supported or not can be found on the official website of the company that developed your motherboard, or using third-party programs such as HWINFO (http://www.hwinfo.com/download32.html).

Switching to SATA mode

1. Turn off your computer.
2. As soon as the startup process begins, press special key on the keyboard to go to BIOS. Typically the Delete, F2 or other hotkeys are used. Which one will be used in your case will be written in a special footnote during the inclusion process.
3. BIOS interface different models motherboards will be different, but the principle of switching to AHCI mode on each of them is almost identical. First, go to the Settings section. To move through blocks and items, use the mouse or arrow keys with the Enter button.
4. Go to additional settings BIOS.
5. Go to the “Built-in peripherals” sub-item.
6. In the “SATA Configuration” block, find the port to which your SSD is connected and press Enter on the keyboard.
7. Select AHCI operating mode. It may already be selected by default, but we needed to make sure of this. Save the settings made in the BIOS and exit it, boot the computer to proceed to preparing the media with the installation file.

Preparing installation media

If you already have a ready-made installation disk, you can skip this step and immediately begin installing the OS. If you don’t have one, then you will need a USB flash drive with at least 4 GB of memory. Creation on it installation program will look like this:

1. We insert the USB flash drive into the port and wait until the computer recognizes it. Open the explorer.
2. First of all, it is important to format it. This is done for two reasons: the memory of the flash drive must be completely empty and divided in the format we need. While on the main page of Explorer, right-click on the flash drive and select “Format” from the menu that opens.
3. We select the NTFS format mode and begin the operation, which can last up to ten minutes. Please note that all data stored on the formatted media will be permanently erased.
4. Let's go to the official one Windows page 10 (https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/software-download/windows10) and download the installation tool.
5. Launch the downloaded program. Read and accept the license agreement.
6. Select the second option “Create installation media”, since this method of installing Windows is more reliable, because you can start all over again at any time, and also use the created installation media in the future to install the OS on other computers.
7. Select the system language, version and bit depth. You should take the version that suits you best. If you regular user, then you should not load the system with unnecessary functions that will never be useful to you, install home Windows. The capacity depends on how many cores your processor has: one (32) or two (64). Information about the processor can be found in the computer properties or on the official website of the company that developed the processor.
8. In the media selection, select the USB device option.
9. Select the flash drive from which the installation media will be created.
10. We wait until the media creation process is completed.
11. Reboot the computer without removing the media.
12. During startup, enter the BIOS.
13. We change the boot order of the computer: your flash drive should come first, not hard drive, so that when you turn on the computer, it starts to boot from it and, accordingly, starts the Windows installation process.

Windows 10 installation process on SSD

1. Installation begins with choosing a language; set the Russian language in all lines.
2. Confirm that you want to start the installation.
3. Read and accept the license agreement.
4. You may be asked to enter a license key. If you have it, then enter it, if not, then skip this step for now and activate the system after installing it.
5. Go to manual installation, since this method will allow you to configure disk partitions.
6. A window will open with disk partition settings, click on the “Disk Settings” button.
7. If you are installing the system for the first time, then all memory SSD drive will not be distributed. Otherwise, you need to select one of the partitions to install and format it. Unallocated memory or already existing disks partition as follows: allocate more than 40 GB to the main disk on which the OS will be located, so as not to encounter it being clogged in the future, leave 10–15% of the total disk memory unallocated (if all the memory is already allocated, delete the partitions and start forming them anew), we give all the remaining memory to additional section(usually drive D) or partitions (drives E, F, G...). Don't forget to format the main partition allocated for the OS.
8. To begin installation, select the drive and click Next.
9. Wait until the system installs in automatic mode. The process may take more than ten minutes, do not interrupt it under any circumstances. After the procedure is completed, creation will begin. account and setting basic system parameters, follow the instructions on the screen and select the settings for yourself.

Video tutorial: how to install Windows 10 on an SSD

Installing Windows 10 on an SSD is no different from the same process with an HDD drive. Most importantly, do not forget to enable ACHI mode in BIOS settings. After installing the system, there is no need to configure the disk; the system will do it for you.

SSD drives are becoming more and more popular. This is due to an increase in their reliability, a decrease in cost and an improvement in the characteristics that they possess.
