You can speed up your PC and laptop by cloning HDD to SSD free. But Windows does not come with a free disk clone tool. Fortunately, there are some great free SSD cloning utilities to clone HDD to ...

An SSD for the OS is, therefore, an ideal option. When you plan to use an SSD, it is easier to clone the HDD to a new SSD instead of migrating all your existing data. It takes less time too.

In addition, make sure the drive you are cloning to has enough storage space to take all the cloned data. For instance, you wouldn't want to try and clone a 2TB HDD on to a 256GB SSD now would you?

If you don’t have a Samsung SSD, then you won’t be able to use the Samsung Migration software — luckily, there’s some generic software that you can use to clone your hard drive over to an SSD.

Put the SSD in it and clone to there, then swap the drives so that at the end of the process you have a new external drive (your old internal disk in the new enclosure) to use for backups etc.

The ability to migrate your OS from HDD (hard disk drive) to SSD (solid state drive) without erasing data is indispensable.
