This tutorial introduces how to migrate Windows 10 to a new hard disk or SSD for free without losing any data. The main contents are as follows:
Windows 10 is an operating system developed by Microsoft and is mainly used in devices such as computers and tablets. It was officially released in 2015 and was initially offered free of charge to legitimate users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Windows 10 has greatly improved in terms of ease of use and security. In addition to converging new technologies such as cloud services, intelligent mobile devices, and natural human-computer interaction, it has also optimized support for hardware such as solid-state drives, biometrics, and high-resolution screens.
Windows OS migration is the process of transferring the entire Windows operating system from one disk to another. This requires professional migration software to fully clone system files, configurations, drivers, and applications, ensuring the OS can boot normally from the destination disk. This process is essential for disk upgrades or rapid system recovery in the event of OS or hardware failure.
If you are planning to migrate Windows to a new SSD/HDD, the first step is to find reliable Windows migration software. There is much such software on the market, such as Clonezilla, EaseUS Disk Copy, Macrium Reflect, Acronis True Image, AOMEI Cloner. Therefore, choosing a satisfactory OS migration tool for Windows 10 is not easy, especially if you know nothing about the process. However, if you just want to find free software, the task is much easier because, except for Clonezilla, most related software on the market is paid. Clonezilla is a free, Linux-based disk cloning tool, which is challenging for users without Linux experience. Furthermore, it requires creating a bootable CD/DVD/USB disk to use Clonezilla, which adds complexity for non-technical users. Is there a free OS migration tool for Windows 10 that is easier to use than Clonezilla? The answer is Hasleo Disk Clone. This free disk cloning software is designed specifically for Windows, enabling you to migrate Windows 10 from one disk to another in just three steps.
