You would need a Windows 10 ISO image or a bootable DVD to use this method. But now using this trick, you should be able to directly clean install Windows 10 on your computer.
If later you want to reformat using the oem recovery partition to work out any bugs, you can.Īlso doing a fresh install using a disk/usb of win10 is a great idea to avoid all the bloatware that comes with oem devices (my personal recommendation).All this while users were upgrading their Windows 7/8.1 PC to the latest Windows 10 OS via the Get Windows app or by using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. Insert the new cloned disk (with the old disk reformatted) in to the device and viola!Īlso you need those extra partitions that win10 makes when initializing a disk, it's where it stores many information that makes your device boot properly ("and faster").3 When the cloning is done, I wipe the old disk, partition it if I'm going to reuse it. I personally like to remove the disks of the device plug them via eSATA if possible to my desktop and do the closing there. There are many ways to go about cloning a disk successfully and it all depends on your hardware configuration. In the past I have used Acronis to clone disks, a great tool. However, (maybe I read it wrong) why would he use an SSD as a storage drive and leave the slow SSD as primary? That makes no sense. Definitely I understand why clone from an oem disk as those usually contain the recovery partition's for a reinstall. Obviously, most people would recommend a clean install anyway - which is easy now thanks to the way Windows 10 licenses are stored and used - but disk cloning is still perfectly valid, and also the only way to get a functional factory restore image to boot and work correctly on another drive. So long as you're cloning from a SSD to another SSD (or a hard disk to another hard disk), and you're using a proper cloning tool that will update the disk UUID to prevent hardware conflicts (for example - Macrium Reflect), there is no problem doing so. However! The basic premise in this article is incorrect. SSD's have no such luxury due to the way cells are written and erased. Hard disks, for the most part, don't need any kind of alignment because data is read in stripes of arbitrary sizes in multiples of 512 bytes regardless of where the boundary is.
Solid state drives *must* be partition boundary aligned, otherwise you get substantial performance degradation and a substantial increase in data writes (NAND wear). It's a dumb idea to clone from a disk drive to a SSD.
